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.
How do I choose a Jowissa watch as a gift?
Start with the recipient’s style, preferred case size, wrist circumference and usual jewellery colours. A smaller, slimmer watch often feels discreet and elegant; a larger case creates a stronger statement. Consider whether they prefer leather, metal or another strap material and whether easy strap changes would be useful. Each product page lists dimensions, materials and movement type to help you compare.
Should I choose a quartz or an automatic watch?
Choose quartz if you want high accuracy, a slim profile and minimal day-to-day maintenance. Choose automatic if you enjoy traditional mechanical watchmaking and do not mind winding or resetting the watch after it has not been worn. Jowissa offers both; check each product page for the movement type and choose the option that best matches how you plan to wear it.
Can I leave my chronograph running all the time?
While possible, it is generally not recommended for battery-powered quartz watches. Leaving the chronograph function running continuously drains the battery significantly faster than standard timekeeping. To preserve battery life, we suggest stopping and resetting the chronograph hands to zero when you are not actively timing an event.
Is a Chronograph different from a Chronometer?
Yes, these terms are often confused but mean different things. A Chronograph is a watch with a built-in stopwatch function (buttons to start, stop, and reset). A Chronometer is a specific certification given to a high-precision watch movement (usually mechanical) that has passed rigorous accuracy tests by COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute). A watch can be both, but "Chronograph" refers to the function, while "Chronometer" refers to the accuracy rating.
How does a quartz watch work?
It works through a circuit: a battery sends electricity to a quartz crystal, causing it to oscillate (vibrate) 32,768 times per second. A microchip detects these vibrations and converts them into regular electric pulses (one per second). These pulses drive a stepping motor, which turns the gears and moves the watch hands.
Are quartz watches accurate?
Yes, quartz watches are known for "high accuracy." Because the quartz crystal vibrates at such a stable and high frequency, they are typically much more accurate than mechanical watches, often varying by only a few seconds per month.
