Juvenia
Juvenia is a luxury Swiss watch manufacturer located in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland. It is one of the few Swiss watch companies to have manufactured watches without interruption since its creation. The brand is currently owned by the Hong Kong group Asia Commercial Holdings Ltd. Juvenia was founded in 1860 by Jacques Didisheim/Goldschmidt in Saint Imier, Switzerland. Shortly after, he relocated to La Chaux de Fonds, expecting better opportunities. Jacques’s son, Bernard, later succeeded his father. In the 1880s, Juvenia produced one of the first lady’s wristwatches. In 1914, Juvenia manufactured, at the time, the smallest movement constructed on a single level. Juvenia is known for its extraordinary, avantgarde case designs, unusual time indications and architectural inspiration.

In 1988, Juvenia was acquired by Asia Commercial Holdings Ltd. Juvenia continues to produce fine watches with innovative characteristics and functions with a long standing record for timepiece innovation. In particular, its first Sextant watch was born in the 1940s, featuring a handless display with a graduated limb indicating hours, a compass hand indicating minutes and a Dauphine sweep second hand recording seconds. This watch is admired by Johnny Depp, who was seen wearing the antique on the cover of Esquire Magazine twice. Last year, Juvenia officially announced the launch of the third edition of Sextant. Compared with Sextant II, the case diameter of Sextant III is enlarged from 34mm to 40mm, with a date indication at 3 o’clock. The transparent case back offers a glimpse of the automatic mechanical movement.
