On September 21, 2025, Berlin’s streets once again became the stage for one of the most iconic races in the world — the BMW Berlin Marathon. With over 55,000 runners from across the globe, this year’s edition not only celebrated athletic excellence but also showcased Swiss watchmaker Norqain in its role as Official Timekeeper. For the third consecutive year, Norqain ensured that every stride, split, and finish time was recorded with absolute precision, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to accuracy and endurance.
The Berlin Marathon is renowned for its flat and fast course, which has been the backdrop for numerous world records. Entrusting Norqain with the responsibility of timing reflects the event’s emphasis on reliability and performance. Marathon running and Swiss watchmaking share common values—discipline, resilience, and precision—which makes the partnership between Norqain and the Berlin Marathon a natural fit.
Beyond its presence on the course, Norqain engaged directly with the running community at the Marathon Expo, giving participants an up-close experience with the brand. The Norqain Wild ONE 39mm collection brings together four striking models: Hyper Pink, Purple Ice Blue, Sky Blue, and the Mint Edition, which is limited to 400 pieces. The Hyper Pink, Sky Blue, and Mint Editions are housed in a 39mm black NORTEQ® carbon composite case, while the Purple Ice Blue edition is the only model to feature a distinctive Purple NORTEQ® cage. Each watch is equipped with a coloured rubber shock absorber that matches its edition, with these vibrant tones echoed in the dial details, giving every model its own bold and distinctive character.
For Norqain, being part of the Berlin Marathon goes beyond technical timing. It is about celebrating the dedication of runners chasing personal bests and the global community that comes together each year in the German capital. From elite athletes breaking records to first-time marathoners achieving milestones, Norqain’s presence embodies the idea that every second counts.
As the 2025 edition concluded, the partnership between Norqain and the BMW Berlin Marathon once again demonstrated the seamless blend of sporting excellence and Swiss craftsmanship. With eyes already on future editions, Norqain remains committed to supporting the pursuit of performance and precision on the world’s greatest running stage.
