FAQ

What does “Swiss Made” actually mean?
A watch may be labelled “Swiss Made” only if it meets Swiss legal requirements. Its movement must be Swiss, the movement must be cased in Switzerland, the completed watch must be inspected in Switzerland, and at least 60% of the manufacturing costs of the watch as a whole must be generated in Switzerland. Jowissa watches are assembled and quality-controlled in Bettlach, Switzerland.
What is the meaning of the brand name Jowissa?
The name Jowissa is derived from the name of company founder Josef Wyss. He founded the business in Bettlach, Switzerland, in 1951, and Jowissa has operated continuously since then.
What does Emerald cut mean?
The emerald cut is a sophisticated and elegant shape defined by its rectangular silhouette and cropped corners. Unlike brilliant cuts, the emerald cut is a "step cut," meaning its facets are arranged in parallel lines. This creates a mesmerizing "hall of mirrors" effect, producing flashes of white light rather than all-over sparkle.

Originally developed for cutting emerald gemstones to prevent chipping, this style became a hallmark of the Art Deco era. It is prized for its vintage charm, architectural lines, and understated luxury.

Rather than diamond, Jowissa utilizes expertly cut mineral glass (for watches) and Austrian crystal (for jewelry), each piece faceted in the emerald cut to capture and reflect light with distinct, geometric elegance.
How do I choose the right watch size for my wrist?
Measure your wrist circumference, then compare the case diameter and strap length in the product specifications. Case shape, lug-to-lug length, thickness and personal style also affect how a watch wears, so diameter alone is only a guide. A smaller case usually looks discreet; a larger case makes a stronger statement. Choose the proportions that feel comfortable and suit your style.
On which wrist does a woman wear a watch?
According to etiquette, a woman should wear her watch on the left wrist if she is right-handed. This traditional rule places the watch on the non-dominant hand to prevent damage and scratches from daily tasks. However, modern fashion is flexible: many women choose the wrist that best complements their other jewelry. If you wear a heavy bracelet on your left hand, it is perfectly stylish and practical to wear your watch on the right wrist to balance your look and avoid scratching the timepiece.
What is PVD coating?
Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) is a vacuum process used to apply a very thin coloured or protective coating to metal watch parts. It creates a smooth, durable finish, but it is not scratch-proof and can wear over time, especially on edges and other high-contact areas. Avoid abrasives, chemicals and impacts, and clean the surface with a soft cloth.
Can I swim with a watch tested to 5 ATM?
No. Watches tested to 5 ATM are designed to withstand rain, perspiration and brief contact with water. They are not intended for swimming or diving. For water activities, choose a model with a rating specifically suited to that use and follow its product specifications.
What is a Dress Watch?
A dress watch is an elegant, slim-profile timepiece designed to be worn with formal attire, such as business suits or evening wear. Unlike sports watches, dress watches focus on minimalism and sophistication.

For Men: It must be thin enough to slide easily under a shirt cuff (the "Cuff Test").

For Women: It often acts as jewelry, featuring refined materials or faceted glass to complement evening outfits.

Key Features: Simple dials, leather or mesh straps, and a lack of bulky buttons or bezels.
