Charriol is a Swiss manufacturer of jewellery, watches, leather goods and fashion accessories. The company was founded in Geneva by Philippe Charriol, a French entrepreneur. Founded in 1983 by Philippe Charriol in Geneva, CHARRIOL is an international luxury brand that specializes in fine Swiss timepieces, jewelry, and accessories. It is currently distributed through a global network of 3,200 retailers, 490 Corners, and more than 180 Boutiques.
Philippe Charriol, a devotee of art and history, drew inspiration from the Celtic culture in order to create his maiden collection in 1983 - the Celtic Collection. He was the first to use gold cable, or steel cable, as a decorative motif and as a watch bracelet. This unique concept is patented and CHARRIOL still holds exclusive worldwide rights over it.
The watch collection consists of several distinct lines with 18kt gold or steel models. These are the Actor, Alexandre, Colvmbvs, Rotonde by Charriol, Saint Tropez, and Parisii.
The brand has sold over 1.35 million watches, 2.4 million pieces of jewellery and 550,000 belts. Since 1988, Charriol has also marketed 600,000 handbags and more than 500,000 writing instruments.
