About Certina

Adolf and Alfred Kurth opened their workshop in Grenchen in 1888. In 1959 Certina launched the DS concept, for "Double Security". The movement sits on a shock-absorbing ring, in a reinforced case.

The DS principle is now used in all its collections, including the DS Action divers. Certina is part of the Swatch Group.
