The Continental brand was founded in 1924 in the south of Switzerland. Its founder was another successful company Agon Watch Co. The company logo is a globe, which means a variety of choices for everyone.

A watch factory was built in Mumpfe, a commune in the Swiss cantor Aargau. In the best of times, it produced 2.5 million watches and 5 million movements a year. For the 1960s, that was a lot. The company produced the Roskopf movement, the most popular at the time. She created watches under the brands Agon, Continental, EverSwiss, Buhler, Ferex and others.

The manufacturer has always relied on beautiful design and innovation. He was one of the first in Switzerland to understand the significance of the invention of quartz movements. By the end of the 1970s, the firm had captured a large share of the watch market.

In 1971, the founding company and all its brands were bought by SSIH. She is known for producing Omega and Tissot chronometers. In 1985, SSIH was renamed to SMH, and a decade and a half later, to Swatch Group.

The mid-1990s were not very successful for the company. In 1993, it was bought by the EVACO SA corporation. Sales have dropped. But two years later, sales increased again by 15-20 times.
