Tufina watches

tufina watches history

From early modern clock towers to quaint pocket-watches, to contemporary tourbillon time-pieces, Tufina Watches’ legacy can be measured in centuries, not decades. Who are we, and what will you find here with us?

Our journey in handmade mechanical-quality watches began in the early 1800s, in the charting of an exotic route from Tirana, to Istanbul, and to the British home of Edward Prior. Ismail Tufina, wondrous traveler-jeweler, invested the early years of his life in the business of time-keeping. From Prior, he picked up a European trade of watchmaking, and in return, passed on the learnings of his family’s jewel business.

One must understand that from that fusion of ideas between two craftsmen comes almost 200 years of a refined technique. Sophisticated materials and jeweled mechanisms equal a beautiful watch - this is a formula that brings together the best of artistic talent and scientific methodology.

 

“Watchmaking is in my blood. To be a good watchmaker was all i ever wanted.”

- B. Tufina

Our customers are not just our customers - we look to them for guidance and inspiration. We make watches for them to be able to have strong relationships and family traditions, too.

Theorema

When you look at the Theorema watch, think festive or fancy. A Zurich Tourbillon for an annual celebration with close acquaintances. A gold-clasp Casablanca for an important business meeting that needs every bit of your confidence to ensure your success. An intriguing Madrid timepiece for an intimate date with candlelights by a riverside restaurant, or within the cool-colored walls of an upscale bistro. A watch from our Theorema collections gives your company the impression that you’re looking to make, with the subtlest touch of seriousness.

The skeletonized mechanism of the watch lets you into the inner workings of a beautiful machine. With visible gears and metalworks that allow you to know exactly how its wonderful time-keeping formula works, it is as though you’re looking at a perfect theorem.

Pionier

The Pionier is, as its name suggests, usually worn by the fresh, always-innovative and modern businessman. The wonderful thing about a watch from this collection is that any of the lines bring sophistication along with a novelty in design. Allow the Geneva Tourbillon to show you how - it is a limited edition watch that keeps you on the go with its hard exterior and refreshing intricacy. Or look to the square crown of the Louvre with uniquely-fractured interiors on the face of the watch.

The Barcelona has acute and fine detail while retaining fashion quality, and is built to last. The Amsterdam wristwatch is a striking masterpiece but has a highly organized feel to its face and crown etchings. Walk into the room with one of these on your wrist, and you’ll be the smartest person there.
