Although it does not have as long a history as classic Swiss brands, Nubeo has captured the interest of enthusiasts looking for something unique and daring.

Foundation of the Brand and Philosophy
Nubeo was established in 2018 by a group of Swiss designers and watchmaking experts who felt that the market lacked striking, modern timepieces with a distinctive look. Their philosophy is “Design meets Precision” – modern aesthetics paired with high-quality Swiss craftsmanship. Nubeo operates as an independent brand, but all their watches are powered by movements from renowned Swiss manufacturers such as ETA, Sellita, or Valjoux.

  • Nubeo Atlas GMT – a traveler’s watch featuring dual time zones and strong color contrasts.

  • Nubeo Volta – the brand’s thinnest line, featuring a minimalist dial and elegant case shape.
