FOUNDER'S STORY ──

A Love Affair with Swiss Craft

Our company was born out of a love for Swiss watches - notably, the adoration held for them by our co-founder, Chaz. Of course, everyone loves what he loves about them - time-honored craftsmanship and magnificent materials that last.

But something was missing.

With his co-founder, and wife, Esti, he took Swiss Watches and made them sexy, creating unique designs that always look fantastic. But what indeed makes a LIV watch unique is the feeling you get when you put one on your wrist. The feeling of being different and daring is what it's all about, and it's why we do things the way we do them.

THE LIV STANDARD ──

QUALITY

Twice the quality of similarly-priced watches. Half the price of comparable top-tier brands. The difference? We cut the retailer markups — every penny goes into the watch.

SWISS MADE

Every watch is built through over 55 handmade steps by craftspeople who have spent decades perfecting their trade. Not the easiest method, not the cheapest — but the only one we'll ever use.

PRECISION

Before leaving our Swiss workshop, every watch passes through the hands of nine skilled master watchmakers. Certified accurate to ±5 seconds per day — guaranteed in writing.

SWISS CRAFTSMANSHIP ──

Handmade. Every single one.
