who sells the best watches

More pricey than Accurist, but still affordable, Certina is often described as an entry-level cheap Swiss luxury watches. The company grew from three employees in 1888 to an operation that by the 1970s was producing over half a million watches a year. Today, like a large portion of the Swiss watch industry, they're owned by Swatch Group.

The DS-1 is a part of their heritage collection, a line of watches inspired by the brand's iconic designs of the past. The DS stands for Double Security, a range of protective measures Certina created for a mechanical watch. It's a concept the brand is proud of and now 60 years old.
