History

Esti Chazanow started LIV Swiss Watches in Miami, Florida in 2012.[11][12] She wanted to build good Swiss watches that were not expensive but could also last, and so went on Kickstarter to get crowdfunding for her idea.[13] Chazanow wanted to make LIV Swiss Watches more personalized too, instead of mass producing it.[14] Some other crowdfunded watch brands are Sequent SuperCharger and Laventure Marine.[15]

LIV Swiss Watches has also supported and worked with Taylor Eisenhart since 2019.[16] In 2018, LIV Watches gave the winners of the F1600 Championship Series with custom GX1-A Swiss watches.[17]

Watches

The first LIV watch model, the GX1 Swiss Quartz Chronograph, came out in 2014.[18] The second model, the GX1-A Swiss Automatic, was funded with $1,119,029 by over 2,169 people within 12 hours.[19][20]

Another model launched in 2016 is the GX Base.[21] Later in 2017, the next LIV model, called Rebel, was also funded within 12 hours, receiving more than $1.7 million from over 2,900 people.[11] The GX1-A was also launched in 2017. It has a luminescent (light-making) feature called Super-LumiNova.[22] In 2018, the Titanium Ceramic Chrono watch was launched and funded.[23]

Other models include the GX1 Panda (for sportswear), GMT Cobalt, GX-AC, GX1, and many others.[24]

There are also many limited edition watches and collections.[25] Some of them are specialized watches for divers, pilots,[26][27][28] and other watches for specific uses and groups of people.[29]
