Discover Swiss elegance with Claude Bernard

From the quiet village of Les Genevez in Switzerland to the heart of Philippine luxury retail, Claude Bernard—a brand rooted in Swiss watchmaking heritage—has officially arrived. Founded in 1973 and proudly independent, Claude Bernard is globally recognized for its hand-assembled timepieces crafted with the same dedication that has defined Swiss horology for centuries.
Each watch reflects a legacy of precision and passion, blending tradition with modern design. From mechanical to quartz movements, every model is built to exacting Swiss standards and features sapphire glass, premium stainless steel, and a timeless aesthetic suited for today’s discerning wearer.
“As we enter the Philippine market, we’re excited to share the soul of our Swiss atelier with a new generation,” says Christian Hotz, Claude Bernard & Edox Marketing and Sales director, member of the board. “With Lucerne as our trusted partner, Claude Bernard is now within reach of Filipino collectors seeking both craftsmanship and authenticity.”

Each collection is distinct, yet united by the brand’s unwavering dedication to quality, precision, and design integrity.
With Swiss movements, sapphire crystals, refined casework, and hand-assembly in every model, Claude Bernard redefines what accessible luxury means in modern watchmaking.
