LIV Swiss Watches is a Miami-based, direct-to-consumer watch brand founded by Chaz and Esti Chazanow in 2014, making bold, Swiss-made timepieces assembled by hand in Switzerland and sold without the retail markup.
Sholom "Chaz" Chazanow chose a job packing watches over going to college; he then bet with his wife, Esti, that people wanted bold Swiss-made watches without the retail markup. Soon after, LIV became the most crowdfunded Swiss watch micro-brand in history.
