Founded in 1983 by Philippe Charriol in Geneva, CHARRIOL is an international luxury brand that specializes in fine Swiss timepieces, jewelry, and accessories. It is currently distributed through a global network of 3,000 retailers, 485 Corners, and 99 Boutiques.

Philippe Charriol, a devotee of art and history, drew inspiration from the Celtic culture in order to create his maiden collection in 1983 - the Celtic Collection. He was the first to use gold cable, or steel cable, as a decorative motif and as a watch bracelet. This unique concept is patented and CHARRIOL still holds exclusive worldwide rights over it.

The watch collection consists of several distinct lines with 18kt gold or steel models. These are the Actor, Alexandre, Colvmbvs, Rotonde by Charriol, Saint Tropez, and Parisii - CHARRIOL's newest line.

Philippe Charriol

I have composed my style as an alchemist: marrying classicism and modernity together, as a pleasant balance of sobriety and exuberance, but always attentive to quality and never losing sight of the functional aspect.

I have further enhanced my watch collections to encompass a broad range of products which now include jewelry, leather goods, writing instruments, travel ware, eyewear, and fragrances. These affordable accessories serve to complete an image, a spirit, and a look, allowing customers to access the CHARRIOL universe with ease, before moving on to a more upscale acquisition such as prestige watch or a piece of gold jewelry.
