About Ernest Borel

Founded in 1856 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, Ernest Borel has long stood as a beacon of watchmaking excellence. With an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, elegance, and innovation, the brand has established itself as a renowned brand in the industry. Its rich heritage, marked by pioneering designs and a legacy of global recognition, has made Ernest Borel a coveted name among watch enthusiasts worldwide.


Since its inception, the brand has continually redefined what it means to create a truly exceptional timepiece. For over a century and a half, Ernest Borel has remained at the forefront of watchmaking by embracing new technology while staying true to the traditional methods that define Swiss watches. Every movement and timepiece is made in Switzerland, ensuring top quality and precision. This seamless integration of heritage and innovation has not only led to numerous accolades from patent offices and horological institutions but also solidified Ernest Borel’s status as a leader in the industry. Between 1945 and 1959, the Neuchâtel Observatory awarded the prestigious Bulletin de Marche certificate to an impressive 4,172 Ernest Borel watches, representing nearly the entire production of the company during that period. This accomplishment underscores the brand's enduring commitment to precision and quality.


Today, Ernest Borel continues to uphold the highest standards of excellence, with a selection of its timepieces earning the esteemed COSC certification—an accolade bestowed upon only 6% of Swiss watches. This recognition attests to the outstanding accuracy and precision of Ernest Borel’s chronometers and highlights the exceptional skill of the brand’s watchmakers.
