Video: Inside Schwarz Etienne, Discovering its History and Its Impressive In

The company took a major turn in the mid-2000s, when Schwarz-Etienne launched an ambitious plan to become a fully integrated manufacturer , to develop and produce its own in-house movements. Today, this small independent stands out with an impressive level of vertical integration, not something you see that often on the indie scene – at least, not to such a level of integration and skills. The brand manufactures its own watches and movements, but it also operates alongside sister companies that produce components for both watches and movements for others . In addition to its own collections, that means Schwarz Etienne is also actively involved as a private-label manufacturer for others, such as RGM , GoS and Ming .
