Swiss watch brand, CATAMARAN, was founded in 1983 in La Chaux-de-Fonds by Swiss watch factory CONSUL, that itself was founded in 1900.

In fact, at the beginning of the 1980s, a different, fresh, wind was already blowing over the Swiss watch industry, calling for watches with more character, in response to the demands of sporting and leisure pass-times. Accordingly, Montres CONSUL decided to create a line that harmonized aesthetics with high technology, always concerned to offer an attractive product with a timeless design in answer to the needs of the new clientele.
All through the 80s, Montres CATAMARAN centered its sponsorship mostly on the world of sailing.

From the 90s, CATAMARAN began to build its long termed personality as a watchmaker, which led quite naturally to the expansion of its sponsoring activities at first in the world of sailing and, from 1994, in the world of motor sports (Formula 1, 24 Hours Le Mans, Rallies, Paris-Dakar, etc).

From 1995, CATAMARAN added the world of sliding (skiing etc) to its sports, followed in 1998 by the extreme sports (snowboarding, wind-surfing, etc), without forgetting a technical presence, with its timekeeping.

Today it is logical that Montres CATAMARAN maintains its presence in all of these activities. Thanks to the experience it has acquired in them, it is ready to take up the challenge of the 21st century.
