Candino was founded in 1947 by Adolf Flury-Hug, who opened a watch-making studio in the annex of his family home in Herbetswil in the Swiss canton of Solothurn. Even today, the original workshop proudly remains standing beside the company’s ultra-modern factory inaugurated in 1989. Not by chance has it resisted the onslaughts of time and modernization — for it’s a symbol of the commitment of Candino to remain faithful to the principles of its founders.
