Quinting has taken the watchmaking world by storm with the first transparent wristwatch.

Founded in 1993, the company was conceptualised by four Swiss engineers, who set out to create unique watches with hands that appear to float in space with no visible means of being turned.

Essentially, each Quinting watch houses a patented sapphire movement that makes it transparent. In 2000, after seven years of research, the first transparent Quinting chronograph was launched.

It is currently available in a number of varieties, including ‘The Dove of Geneva', ‘Sea Devils', ‘Telescopium' and ‘Zodiacal'. Quinting watches are available at Damas.
