Founded in Biel in 1965, Antima is a Swiss manufacturer known for being acquired by the Fossil Group in 2001 to strengthen its “Swiss made” production. Specializing in subcontracting and manufacturing, it played a key role in Fossil’s strategy before being affected by declining demand. Fossil acquired Antima to integrate Swiss production expertise, alongside the acquisition of the Zodiac brand. Antima operated as a manufacturing structure for the Fossil Group before being reorganized following changes in movement supply, particularly after the end of contracts with the Swatch Group. Montres Antima AG is listed as an active entity in Biel.
