Designed to embody the best that life has to offer, TechnoMarine is an expression of founder Franck Dubarry--a sportsman with a taste for the good life, a love for the sea and a great appreciation for beautiful designs. Launched in St. Tropez, France at the tail end of 1997, the TechnoMarine watch line began with the Raft, an elegantly designed stainless steel chronograph with a translucent plastic band. In 1999, TechnoMarine developed and launched a breakthrough design--the TechnoDiamond, the first original diamond chronograph. And in 2005, TechnoMarine launched the TechnoDiamond Chrono Ceramic, after two years of painstaking research.
