Cadola is a watch brand with a history that dates back to the 1960s, offering timepieces that aim to capture the essence of that golden era of watchmaking. The brand was originally founded in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, and has since been revived, now being part of the Dartmouth Brands portfolio, which also includes other watch brands like AVI-8 and Spinnaker. Today, Cadola focuses on rebooting timeless silhouettes with modern specifications, creating watches suitable for everyday wear.
The brand prides itself on using premium materials and techniques. Each Cadola watch is powered by industry-leading mechanics from Japan and Switzerland and is hand-assembled to ensure precision and a high-quality timekeeping experience. Their designs are often inspired by the iconic worlds of aviation, motorsport, and diving. This is reflected in their various collections, such as the RPM, Taurus, Ahrens, Rally Timer, Testa Di Toro, Paddock, and Buxton.
Cadola has also engaged in notable collaborations, particularly with a focus on motorsport. The brand has a partnership with Cosworth, the British automotive engineering company, resulting in a series of limited-edition timepieces that pay tribute to the Cosworth name and its legacy in Formula 1. These collections include the DFV-Cosworth series, with models named after famous F1 drivers. The brand also offers models named after former motorcycle and Formula One world champion John Surtees.
