Festina Watches
Festina was founded in 1902 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The motto Festina still holds today is ‘Festina Lente’ meaning, Hasten Slowly. In 1984 Festina was bought over by Spanish industrialist Miguel Rodriguez, who at that time, already owned Lotus. Rodriguez then formed the company Festina Lotus S.A. Since then the company headquarters had been moved to Barcelona and their movements are officially assembled on the Citizen Watch Company Japanese movement. No longer making them Swiss made.
