CANDINO was founded in Switzerland over 50 years ago - in 1947, to be precise - by Adolf Flury-Hug in Herbetswil.
To strengthen the market presence and to profit from the synergies, CANDINO has been integrated into the Festina Group in January 2002.

The 120 employees with premises in Biel and Herbetswil, Switzerland, not only supply the Swiss market, but export watches to over 65 countries worldwide. Key sale areas are Europe and the Middle and the Far East. All CANDINO watches are produced at the factory in Herbetswil, near Solothurn, at a rate of up to 2,000 quality watches per day.

Candino wishes to invest for the planet and for the future generations. To be a partner of PlanetSolar, the first round-the-world trip in a solar-powered boat, is to believe in a daring project and in values such as durability, rational design, and performance. Candino is the main partner of PlanetSolar, and the official timekeeper of the adventure.
Sea, dream, travel! Candino timepieces with complications that are very useful for globetrotters are being created in the context of this partnership. These models will be faithful to the brand philosophy: offering a range of varied and quality products at a very competitive price.
