Festina was founded by the Stüdi family in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1902. The brand has stayed true to its Swiss heritage, despite being based in Barcelona, Spain, since the Second World War, by using precise and reliable Swiss-made movements. The name Festina comes from the Latin phrase 'festina lente' which means 'make haste, slowly'. This encompasses the brand's philosophy of consistently progressing within the watch industry but taking enough time to ensure that each timepiece is designed and built to an impressively high standard.
