Swiss-made watch brand Norqain has made its debut in Singapore, as part of an expansion into the Asia market. The watch retailer has collaborated with Southeast Asia distributor Melchers, a Singapore branch of Melchers Group, for the launch. This is also the brand’s second global flagship store after the first opened in Zermatt, Switzerland, last year.

Norqain says the new store, located on Orchard Road, aims to replicate the feeling of the Swiss Alps, features an original ski-lift chair from Zermatt.
The store’s interior was inspired by the Swiss Alps, with black, blue, and white as the primary colours running throughout the space. There is also a wooden bar inside the store.
Norqain says on its Instagram that it wants to convey to customers “a real feel for the Norqain world and the Norqainer spirit”.
The family-owned Swiss watch company is based in Nidau (Bienne), the heart of the Swiss watch industry. Founded in 2018, it makes mechanical automatic watches designed in-house.
Jean-Claude Biver, a well-known Luxembourgish-Swiss watchmaker who used to serve as president of the LVMH Watch Division, announced in June that he would join Norqain’s board as an advisor.
