CiRCULA - 70 years,
3 generations
Timepieces with history
For 70 years, CiRCULA has stood for durability, contemporary design and high-quality watchmaking. This anniversary not only reflects our history, but also the many personal stories associated with our watches that have lasted for generations.
Simone Lucente shared one of these stories with us. It begins in the 1940s with his great-aunt Violanda Cavallaro, a young woman from Calabria. At the age of just 18, she left her homeland and moved to Stuttgart alone in search of a better life. Without any knowledge of German, but with great determination, she quickly learned the language. She obtained a bus driver's license, earned her first wage as a bus driver and gradually built an independent life for herself near Stuttgart. In the early 1970s, Violanda bought the CiRCULA watch pictured on the right - a sign of her independence and success. This watch accompanied her throughout her life and was later passed on to her sister Triestina Cavallaro (pictured right). Triestina eventually passed the watch on to her grandson Simone. Today it stands as a symbol of courage and strength in the family.
We thank Simone and his family for sharing their story and are grateful to be a small part of it!
CiRCULA
Founded in 1955 by Heinz Huber, continued by his son Klaus-Dieter and now managed by Cornelius Huber in the third generation since 2019, we have a clear focus on authenticity, quality and functional design. At the traditional location of Pforzheim, a center of German watchmaking, we continue to produce robust and reliable tool watches for every application - whether on land, in the water or in the air. From the classic models of the early years to high-performance diving, pilot and GADA watches (Go Anywhere. Do Anything.), CiRCULA combines proven craftsmanship with modern technology and clear design. The enthusiasm for mechanical watches and precise technology remains the core of CiRCULA.
Designs from 70 years of CiRCULA
Since 1955, every CiRCULA watch has stood for craftsmanship, durability and functional design. From the elegant classics of the early years to the robust, modern Tool and GADA Watches, the development of CiRCULA over seven decades shows the combination of tradition and innovation. Here are a few examples from our long history:
Cornelius Huber continues the tradition:
"70 years of CiRCULA is a significant milestone for us as a family and watch enthusiasts. My grandfather founded the brand in Pforzheim and I am proud to continue it today. With our GADA watches (Go Anywhere. Do Anything.), we combine durability, clear design and high-quality craftsmanship. Our tool watches are suitable for every adventure - today and in the future. A big thank you goes to our community, whose support and passion makes CiRCULA something very special."
