NORQAIN, the family-owned and independent Swiss watchmaker, announces the successful opening of its first flagship boutique in the heart of Zurich, Switzerland, on November 18th, 2023. Situated on the iconic Rennweg, the Zurich boutique marks NORQAIN's third flagship globally, emphasising the city's strategic importance to the brand.
NORQAIN's Zurich flagship boutique, located on the iconic Rennweg, embodies the rugged and adventurous spirit inherent in its timepieces, providing an engaging experience that captures the essence of the mountains. The NORQAIN boutique concepts are created by Swiss-based FORM AG, adding a touch of Swiss design excellence to the brand's immersive spaces.

Earlier this month, NORQAIN expanded its presence with a dynamic pop-up store in New York, situated on Soho's lively Crosby Street, and set to remain open until the year's end.
"Zurich has always been a strategic and important place for NORQAIN," says Ben Küffer, Founder & CEO of NORQAIN. "Our Zurich flagship, along with the recent New York City pop-up, reflects our commitment to providing a genuine NORQAIN experience to our global NORQAINER community."
