Six decades of Swiss watchmaking excellence
In 1962, master watchmaker Henri Meridian established a small workshop in the heart of Geneva with a simple vision: to create timepieces that would stand the test of time, both in durability and design.
What began as a one-man operation has evolved into one of Switzerland's most respected independent watch manufacturers. Yet, we've never forgotten our roots. Every Meridian watch is still assembled by hand, inspected by master craftsmen, and held to the exacting standards Henri set over six decades ago.
Today, Meridian Watches continues to honor its founder's legacy by combining traditional Swiss watchmaking techniques with innovative materials and modern design sensibilities. The result is a collection of timepieces that are both timeless and contemporary.
"A watch should not just tell time; it should tell your story."
