What is "technos"

Technos may refer to:

• Technos (watches), a watch brand established 1900 in Switzerland
• Technos Telecom, a Dutch telephone and internet provider
• Technōs Japan, a defunct Japanese video game developer, 1981–1996
• Techno Twins or The Technos, a 1980s British electronic music duo

Technos is a trademark for a range of watches. First registered in 1924 in Switzerland, after WWII it has significant market share, especially in Japan and Brazil. Like many other Swiss watch brands, it was almost swept into oblivion by the onslaught of the Japanese watch industry in the mid-1970s. The brand is now Brazilian-owned.
