Introducing the Independence Wild ONE, an innovative 100% Swiss-made sports watch concept featuring NORQAIN’s own ground-breaking material: NORTEQ. This revolutionary material is six times lighter than steel and 3.5 times lighter than titanium.

NORTEQ is an ultra-light, ultra-robust material that was created exclusively for NORQAIN and its watches and is the result of a close collaboration between NORQAIN, Jean-Claude Biver and BIWI SA. This high-performance material has a striking marble effect. This carbon fibre composite is made of carbon fibre, which is commonly used in the aerospace industry, and a high-performance polymer matrix containing 60% bio-sourced material.

In addition, it is anti-magnetic and will not corrode over time. Additionally, the material left over from the production process is 100% recycled and upcycled – an important example of how innovation can lead to a smaller ecological footprint and part of the policy that led to our CO2-NEUTRAL certification by Swiss Climate.

The Wild ONE watch has been developed for sports-enthusiast NORQAINERS. Equipped with our exclusive chronometer-certified NN20/1 Manufacture Calibre, boasting 70-hour power reserve, these lightweight and shock-resistant timepieces reflect our DNA as a brand that produces top-quality mechanical timepieces for watch fans who lead an active lifestyle.
