Festina watch

Festina is a Swiss watch brand established in 1902 by the Stüdi family in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. In 1935, the brand was sold to Willy Burkhard von Wilhelm, and during World War II, it relocated to Barcelona, Spain. In 1975, Georges Uhlmann acquired Festina, and in 1984, Spanish businessman Miguel Rodríguez purchased the brand, forming the Festina-Lotus Group. This group also owns other Swiss watch brands like Jaguar, Candino, and Perrelet. Festina is renowned for its precision and quality, offering a diverse range of wristwatches. The brand's name, "Festina," is derived from the Latin phrase "Festina lente," meaning "Make haste, slowly," attributed to Augustus Caesar, emphasizing the importance of careful and deliberate action.
