Cvstos is the creation of two veterans of the Swiss watch-making industry, Antonio Terranova and Sassoun Sirmakes. Terranova, born in the watch making center of La Chaux-de-Fonds, spent many years in the technical design of standard and cutting-edge watches. In 2004, he teamed up with Sassoun Sirmakes, whose father was Chairman of Franck Muller Watchland Group.

Together the two are challenging the traditions of Swiss watch making by using new concepts and materials in their high-precision time pieces. The name of the company, Cvstos, refers to the Latin word for 'guardian'.
