**Rainer Brand** is a German watch manufacturer.

===== An independant watchmaker =====
[[Brand, Rainer|Rainer Brand]], founder and owner of the watch manufacturer //Rainer Brand//, was born in August [[1962]]. Like his ancestors, namely his father and grandfather, he was an independent-minded, very self-reliant spirit, who had always known that he would do something quite unique and creative. So he got the idea to engage in the watch industry, not by imitation of a professional career of his ancestors, but as an voluntary vocation. First by starting a training in the goldsmith's craft, and then by taking a parallel course at the Watchmaking School [[Pforzheim]]. There he finally discovered his love for the delicate art of watchmaking. The apprenticeship lasted from [[1977]] to [[1980]], the master course at the Masters School in [[Schwenningen]] from [[1989]] to [[1990]].

In between and after that he worked purposefully for jewelers, watch restorers and watch companies. For example he worked at at the renowned manufacturer [[Chronoswiss]] in Munich. In [[1992]] he finally dared to step into independence. With the //Havana//, his first own watch creation, he began building his own collection and thus the history of the brand Rainer Brand.

Rainer Brand gave the brand not only a name, but also the identity of a living personality. The watch collection typifies the attitude and mindset of its creator and captivates with its quited and clear style.

The motto of Rainer Brand reads //"Style is the product of quality and consciousness."//
