SARCAR was established in Geneva in 1948 by Carlos Sarzano, a watch enthusiast and well respected figure in the watch industry. Before starting the brand, Sarzano worked for several reputable Swiss watch brands, representing them in Spain and Italy.
–
Two decades earlier, during his work, Sarzano chanced upon a watch facility that was put up for sale. He promptly acquired the factory, intending to start his brand.
–
Sarzano eventually started SARCAR with the vision to create the world’s most luxurious timepieces, which combine the most exquisite and precious stones with innovative designs and top quality craftsmanship. He also emphasised the importance of creative autonomy, famously proclaiming that the company must always be “large enough to be strong, yet small enough to be free”.

Today, SARCAR is a globally renowned creator of highly exclusive, bejewelled artisan timepieces with authorised retailers worldwide. The passing decades may have seen SARCAR evolve to greater heights, but the brand remains deeply committed to Sarzano’s original vision and values that first inspired its birth.
