Zahnd & Kormann watch brand was founded by Roger Zahnd and Florian Kormann in order to create and offer you high quality timepieces bearing the prestigious Swiss Made label, in a transparent and modern way, aiming to change how Swiss automatic watches are sold to the customer nowadays. Based in Bern, the capital of Switzerland, surrounded by more then 200 years of watch making history, our watches combine classic elements with a modern style.

For our debut watch collection „ZK No.1“ we have selected the legendary ETA Valjoux 7751 (Version: Top) self winding calibre which offers a Chronograph, Full Calendar (triple date) and a Moon Phase indication. This 25 jewels movement finds its place in a classically designed, 10 ATM, stainless steel or black PVD case measuring 41 mm diameter, a size that perfectly suits for a contemporary dress watch. The movement featuring a customized oscillating weight with “Côtes de Genève” and “Perlage” finishing is visible through the caseback. Further all watches are delivered with 2 genuine leather bands (20 mm) with quick release system making it easy to change the band and style of your watch within seconds without using a single tool. Shipping is free to anywhere in the world, altough there will be a charge for customs. Each watch is backed by a 2 year warranty.

We do think that it is time to make a change in the way how high quality Swiss Made watches are sold nowadays. Swiss Made does not need to be super expensive. Zahnd & Kormann is pushing the limits to offering you best value for your money. With a modern approach to market combined with an elegant and timeless design and the technical know how and the service of the Swiss watch industry we do make a difference.

As we are from Switzerland there is no question that all our watches are Swiss Made! But what does that mean? At least 60 per cent of the costs of manufacturing a complete watch (as an end product) must be generated in Switzerland. All our watches are designed, assembled and quality checked in Switzerland and do exceed the minimum requirements for “Swiss Made”.

All our watches do come with a warranty of two years. Our supplier does have worldwide network of service points. So if your watch realy should be damaged, you simply call or text us and we will provide you with the details of the point of service next to you. If there is no service point in your country, we will organise the shipment and the paper work. The satisfaction of our clients is our top priority and we will do everything we can to solve any issues, if any, smooth and quick.

ETA stands for Elegance, Technology and Accuracy. Founded in the year 1793 the Swiss watch manufacturer ETA SA is one of the worlds biggest supplier of mechanical and non mechanical watch movements. We decided to go with the ETA Valjoux 7751 as it offers technical complexity, high accuracy and reliability. The ETA 7751 comes with three complications (Moonphase, Chronograph and Full Calendar) and has probably one of the best value proposition on the marked and is used by the world most famous watch brands to guarantee quality. With this watch movement you can’t be wrong. For more detailed technical information about the movement please klick here.

For millions of people the moon as our closest neighbor in space was and still is the most fascinating planet next to earth. In many old cultures the moon is part of their religion and mythology. No other known object in space has a bigger influence on our life on earth then moon. For thousands of years people were using the time between one full moon and the next one to measure time. Depending on the collocation of earth, sun and moon we can see different parts of the moon illuminated. These are the so called moon phases. In average it takes 29 days, 12 hours and 43 minutes to complete a moon phase. Next to the moon phase indication our watches do have a so called full calendar indicating day, date and month.

This year the world is actually celebrating the 200. anniversary of the chronograph. In the year 1816 Louis Moinet invented the first chronograph. The chronograph was first made as an astronomical tool but today it is one of the most popular watch complication in the world. The todays chronographs are used as a stop watch with hour, minute and second indication a start-stop-function and reset function.

Our watches are delivered together with two 20 mm leather straps of your choice (…soon more colors and styles will come…). Thanks to the easy release system you can change the style of your watch within seconds without any tools. From a classic to sports look within seconds. This system works with every strap on the market using the easy release system. Our watches do fit to (almost) every occasion in life.
