Aquastar is a Swiss watch maker[1][2][3] founded in 1962 by Frédéric Robert, a watchmaker, scuba diver, and skipper.

Frederic Robert was the son of the 5th generation watchmaker family that founded the brand Jean Richard in the late 1800s.

[7][8] Aquastar was established in Geneva, Switzerland, when Frédéric Robert took over the JeanRichard watch brand, which had been managed by his father.

One of the brothers, a sailor and third-generation watchmaker, continued the brand's tradition of producing sailing and diving watches.

In 2019, Aquastar was acquired by the Synchron Group under the guidance of Rick Marei and moved its business headquarters to Bienne, Switzerland.
