Circula: Family Passion for Watchmaking

In the heart of southern Germany exists a special jewel in the crown of the watchmaker’s art: Circula. Discover the brand and its great collections here.

A Passion for Watches Passed Down from Generation to Generation

The history of the Circula watch brand began with the Huber family in Pforzheim in 1955. From the middle to the end of the 20th century, the company developed a variety of watch models: Wristwatches, chronographs and diving watches. In the so-called quartz crisis of the seventies, mechanical watches were pushed out of the market in favor of the cheaper quartz watches and therefore Circula also moved more into the background as a result. However, smaller companies often turn out to be stronger than they are given credit for, and in this case, family tradition has played an important role in the company’s development. Thanks to a Kickstarter campaign by the founder’s grandson, Cornelius Huber, the label was able to launch the brand’s first retro-inspired model in 2017. Since then, Circula has continuously added new models to its catalog and brought German know-how to the fascinating world of watches.

High-Quality Timepieces Made in Germany

At Circula, the designation “Made in Germany” has great significance. All watches are developed, designed and produced in Germany. More precisely, in the gold town of Pforzheim, where Circula was founded in 1955. Even though some individual components are sourced from abroad, each movement is checked again by the company’s own watchmakers before being installed and, if necessary, fine-tuned. The watches themselves are also built in Germany using traditional craftsmanship. In this way, the brand ensures that its high quality standards are maintained at all times and also supports traditional German watchmaking values.

Mechanical Watches for Every Need

This small watch manufacturer has made local manufacturing its strength. Since the generational change has taken place, it has surprised connoisseurs of the brand and watch lovers in general with new innovative models. Circula’s range includes five collections that can delight potential buyers in more ways than one. Retro Quartz, Classic, AquaSport, AquaSport II and SuperSport offer a wide range of watches for every need.

AquaSport

The sporty, elegant design with a solid, cushion-shaped case, sapphire glass bezel and clear time display by day and night make the AquaSport a watch for all situations. The modern Swiss automatic movement STP 1-11 is based in its construction on the famous ETA 2824 and has made a name for itself in the watch market with its high precision and reliability.

AquaSport II
