**Belchengruppe** is a young Swiss watch brand based in [[Basel]]. It stands out with a strikingly angular case design and an unusual dial layout.

The brand’s name is derived from five mountains called “Belchen” in the Dreiland region at the Bend of the Rhine. These peaks form an archaic solar calendar and symbolize the four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. The company’s team members call themselves “time designers.” More information -> [[https://belchengruppe.ch/en/belchengruppe/zeitdesigner|The Zeitdesigner]]; they collaborate with a watchmaker and a CAD designer.

The watches are equipped with mechanical movements from [[Sellita]].

===== Awards =====
In June 2021, the //Zeitdesigner// won the international DNA Paris Design Award in the Product Design category.
