Croix de Genève is a Geneva-based jewellery brand that celebrates the history, values, and spirit of the canton. Founded by Christophe and Laurent Golay, the brand creates jewellery inspired by Geneva’s coat of arms. These unique creations embody peace, elegance, and the essence of this cosmopolitan, international city.
The brand’s history dates back to the early 19th century, when Auguste Golay arrived in Geneva with his father in 1829. He trained as a watchmaker and, together with his wife Suzanne Leresche, founded the Golay-Leresche watchmaking house in Geneva in 1837.
This establishment, officially described in its founding act as a «watchmaking establishment», sourced the components necessary for watch production and assembled them in its own workshops.
By the late 19th century, the company became known as Golay Fils & Stahl, standing alongside Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin as one of the leading names in Geneva’s watchmaking industry at the time.
As artists and master craftsmen, they passed down their passion for detail and the art of handmade excellence to future generations. Today, this heritage continues through the vision of Christophe and Laurent Golay, the two heirs to this centuries-old tradition.
In 2001, Christophe Golay and Emile Spierer founded the Golay Spierer watchmaking house in Carouge, specialising in bespoke timepieces.
Twenty years later, Laurent Golay joined the venture, and in early 2024, they together established Croix de Genève, paying tribute to Geneva and celebrating its rich history.
Designed by Christophe Golay, the Croix de Genève is inspired by the canton’s coat of arms. Registered as a trademark since 2009 (registration no. 601934), it embodies eternal Geneva, a symbol of peace and unity across the world.
For Croix de Genève, each piece of jewellery is far more than just an accessory. It carries the soul of Geneva, a symbol of personal identity and a deep-rooted connection to the city.
The creations are designed for every moment, becoming everyday companions of understated elegance.
The first collection by Croix de Genève expresses the brand’s identity in its purest form.
Handcrafted in gold or stainless steel, the Croix de Genève is mounted on a hand-braided marine cord from our workshops in Carouge. The ends of the cord are adorned with two refined charms.
Extremely durable, the bracelet is designed to be worn in all conditions, resisting humidity in all its forms (showers, swimming, sauna).
