The Uhrencup is a club football tournament, held annually in Grenchen and Biel in Switzerland.
The Uhrencup is seen as a testament to the major influence that is exercised by the local watchmaking industry on the cultural lives of the area's residents (Uhren is German for "watches").
Founded in 1962 by representatives of Grenchen's watchmaking industry, the first Uhrencup was held to celebrate the inauguration of the new grandstand at the local Brühl stadium.
Due to the tournament's reverberating success it was repeated the following year and, thanks to the sponsoring from the local watch industry, it continues to be held annually (with the exception of 1967, 1974 and 2012).
The English side Ipswich Town won the tournament in 1963 and the Dutch team Sparta Rotterdam was the second international representative.
A year later German club Karlsruher SC and the French team Nîmes Olympique competed in the Uhrencup.
At the end of the 1967–68 Nationalliga A season Grenchen were relegated and therefore the tournament lost its international significance.
FC Köln, Bayer Leverkusen, FC Red Bull Salzburg, Celtic Glasgow, Borussia Dortmund, Legia Warsaw and Panathinaikos Athens have participated during this period, but only Trabzonspor (2005) and Shakhtar Donetsk (2009) were able to win the title.
The remaining competitors were Deportivo de La Coruña from Spain, the Dutch side Twente Enschede and the eventual winner VfB Stuttgart from Germany.
