Philippe Charriol
By Michelle



Enter the world of Charriol and discover a universe of luxury watches, the understated elegance of fine leather goods, designer pen collections and the magnetism of modern jewellery lines.



Charriol, the world-renowned brand was founded in 1983 by Mr. Philippe Charriol from France. Charriol is famous for its delicately made wrist watches and also its luxury eye wear, writing tools and leather products. With its headquarters located in Switzerland, Charriol is one of the few pure European brands which only cooperates with the leading factories and businesses that have originated from Europe. That is the key to its high quality products. So far, there have been forty-five Charriol shops, five hundred boutiques and more than five thousand Charriol sales agencies globally, which can reflect Charriol's successful identity and reputation in the world.



Since its establishment, Charriol has designed a series of luxury wrist watches, which can be recognized as its representative products. For example, Celtic, Alexander, Azur and Supersports-verturi series. These watches are made with a very high proportion of pure gold, strong steel and shiny polished diamonds and are named according to the places where the inspiration for each design came. For example, the Azur series has a style that originates from the area called Azur in the south part of France, which is also called the Blue Coast; St. Tropenz series was named due to its style originating from the most famous tourist attraction in the area around the Mediterranean near France. Each product created by Charriol has a particular source of inspiration and historical significance inside. Besides, the Charriol leather handbags are mostly manufactured in France and Italy, eye wear and writing tools in France and Germany, and the jewellery is manufactured in Switzerland.



Mr. Charriol is a world-renowned designer who was born with a unique sense of beauty and art. When he was still a university student, politics and economics were his majors, which are considered to be the essential components to perfectly combine art, culture and business.



With the rapid economic development in China, Charriol has stepped into the huge market of mainland China. Besides the leading brand-name shops that have been established and the store in Panyang New World Store of Beijing, Charriol is planning to establish more shops and sales points in several big cities of China, which include Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Moreover, some corresponding professional repair shops will also be founded in the cities above, providing complete and efficient services for the customers.
