The spirit of the brand
The name NORQAIN is synonymous with the desire for freedom, determination, and the pursuit of personal challenges. The logo – two side-by-side "N"s forming a mountain peak – is not just a graphic design, but the embodiment of a set of values. From the heart of Switzerland, nestled in the embrace of the Alps, the founders have built a brand that always looks ahead and encourages you to walk your own path – regardless of what others say.
Every detail of NORQAIN represents this attitude to life. Their watches are made for people who don't follow the crowd, but live life at their own pace. Norqain watches are therefore not just a product, but a way of life.
Family heritage, true independence
NORQAIN was born in 2018 when Ben Küffer, the brand's founder, turned his passion and experience into a bold new vision. Ben's family has been involved in Swiss watchmaking for decades, and this heritage continues to shape the brand's character today. Co-founders include Ted Schneider, a member of the iconic Breitling family, and Mark Streit, the NHL ice hockey legend – all three share a belief that true values do not compromise.

NORQAIN's independence is not just a financial status: it is the heart of the brand. There are no shareholders, no external expectations – only customers and passion matter. This allows the brand to dare to think differently, build for the long term, and create real value in the luxury watch market.
100% Swiss, 100% mechanical
At NORQAIN, there is no room for compromise when it comes to the quality of timekeeping. Every single watch is made in Switzerland, by hand, by experienced watchmakers in the town of Tavannes in the Jura Mountains. They do not make quartz watches or use digital displays – only mechanical movements, in the spirit of precision and respect for tradition.

Their own designs are not only elegant and distinctive, but also ready for real sporting challenges. The materials used, the case design, the details of the dial – all serve the purpose of making the watch a faithful companion in everyday life and in extreme situations.

Innovation – a future born from tradition
NORQAIN's innovation is not just about technical advances – it is a philosophy. Jean-Claude Biver, one of the greatest legends in the Swiss watch industry, who acts as an advisor to the brand, believes that the younger generation can be reintroduced to the love of mechanical watches.

In-house movements – Swiss engineering precision
One of the milestones in NORQAIN's technical development was the strategic partnership with movement manufacturer Kenissi in 2020. This resulted in the first in-house calibers: the NN20/1 three-hand and the NN20/2 GMT. Both boast a 70-hour power reserve, outstanding reliability, and accurate timekeeping.
The new generation NK24/1 "8K" caliber, inspired by the world's mountains over 8,000 meters high, was unveiled in 2024. This skeletonized flyback chronograph opens up new horizons: it is both functional and spectacular, offering a 62-hour power reserve and single-button timing capabilities. All NORQAIN calibers are chronometer-certified, certified to the highest Swiss standards.
Three characters, three collections
NORQAIN's collections are designed for three different lifestyles, but all are built around a common value: the free expression of your individuality.
Independence – Technical sports watches for independent thinkers who refuse to settle for the ordinary. The One Wild Skeleton 42mm Turquoise is the perfect embodiment of this series.
