About Quinting

Quinting is a Swiss watch manufacture based in Geneva, specializing in one hundred percent transparent luxury watches. The company developed the first and only chronograph movement in the world made entirely of sapphire: five engineers worked for over seven years on research and development until the patented transparent movement was realized. The movements consist of several sapphire layers, thereby creating a third dimension that enables individual customization. All watches are handmade with great precision; each movement is unique and patented. The range includes transparent chronographs and watches with diamonds, blue sapphires and 18 karat gold in yellow, rose and white, some with PVD-coated steel. In addition to the collections, kinetic artworks are created as one-offs, hand-decorated and featuring TMZ motifs that differ by day and night. Customized adaptations of the movements are part of the offering.
