Certina, a Swiss watch manufacturer, was established in 1888 by Adolph and Alfred Kurth.; Originally called Grana, the company changed its name to Certina in 1938. The name Certina originates from the Latin “certus” that means “reliable”. Certina quickly became a well-known watch brand and has even become a synonym to the sporty Swiss watches! As a current addition to their strong portfolio of sports associations and partnerships, Certina is currently a sponsor of the BMW Sauber Formula 1 team. Certina watches are well known for their innovations such as the Double Security (DS) technology.; DS provides watches with resistance against shocks and water pressure.
