Two expressions. One mechanical spirit.

Automatic watchmaking, expressed in two distinct ways. Prima Swiss Made celebrates a tradition rooted in La Chaux-des-Fonds. Prima Open Heart brings the movement into view through an opening in the dial.

Time and Tradition

Some watches become part of a family’s story. Given to mark a milestone and passed from one generation to the next, they carry memories alongside the hours. With a history dating back to 1927, Cauny has long held this special place on wrists across Portugal and Spain.

The Prima Swiss Made collection carries that heritage forward. Hand-assembled in La Chaux-de-Fonds, where our story began, each watch combines a Swiss automatic movement with classic proportions, refined dials and leather straps.

The magic of an automatic watch lies in its connection to you: the natural motion of your wrist keeps its mechanical heart alive. Protected by sapphire crystal, the Prima brings that quiet wonder into everyday life—a connection to our past, ready to become part of your story.

The other side of the story

Seen here through the transparent caseback of a Prima Swiss Made watch, the automatic movement becomes part of the story. A closer look at the mechanics behind the dial.

THE OPEN HEART DETAIL

A Heart in Motion

The pleasure of a mechanical watch begins with curiosity. With the Prima Open Heart, an opening in the dial reveals the automatic movement at work, turning a glance at your wrist into a moment of discovery.

Powered by a Japanese automatic movement, it draws energy from the natural motion of your wrist. A blue and silver dial pairs with a steel bracelet or brown Italian leather strap, bringing a contemporary spirit to Cauny’s watchmaking tradition.

With sapphire crystal, water resistance to 10 ATM and prices starting at €275, the Prima Open Heart offers an accessible introduction to mechanical watchmaking—and the everyday pleasure of seeing it in motion.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose an automatic watch?

An automatic watch brings the pleasure of traditional watchmaking to your wrist. Powered by your natural movement, it works without a battery, creating a personal connection between you and the mechanism inside. Its magic lies in the small details: the moving hands, the intricate mechanics and the daily ritual of wearing it.
What movements do Cauny automatic watches use?

The Prima Swiss Made collection uses the Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic movement, while the Prima Open Heart is powered by the Japanese Seiko NH39. Both continue a tradition of mechanical watchmaking, with the Open Heart offering a glimpse of its movement through an opening in the dial.
Which collection is right for me?

Choose the Prima Swiss Made if you are drawn to Swiss watchmaking, classic elegance and Cauny’s heritage. Choose the Prima Open Heart if you enjoy seeing the mechanism in action and want a more accessible introduction to automatic watches. Both offer the pleasure of a mechanical movement in a watch designed for everyday wear.
What happens if I don’t wear my automatic watch for a few days?

Your watch stores energy as you wear it. If left unworn long enough, that energy will run out and the watch will stop. This is completely normal. Simply wind it and reset the time according to its instructions before wearing it again. You don’t need to wear it every day.
Can an automatic watch last for generations?

With proper care and periodic servicing, a mechanical watch can accompany you for many years and become something to pass on. Looking after it means protecting it from strong impacts and having its movement serviced when needed—a little attention that helps preserve both the watch and the memories it carries.
