History of Paul Garnier Wristwatch

Paul Garnier (1801-1869) was an a 19th century inventor, clock and watch maker who began in Paris in 1825. Paul Garnier was founded in 1825 in Hbr du Roi, Paris, France and specialized in clocks in railway stations. The Garnier company made watches with Swiss movement and casing were made in France and German. They were taken over in 1933 by Leon Hatot (the ones who developed the "Rolls" early automatic watch, later made by Blancpain) who were known for their electronic ATO clocks. These were marketed also under the name "ATO - Paul Garnier".


In 1967, the electrical horology branch of Lepaute took over the ATO production. A new type of seven segment digital clock was developed in 1978 and was immediately taken up by the French railways "SNCF". These clocks achieved such rapid success that they were copied on a grand scale. Although the Hatot Company adopted new production techniques and used miniature quartz crystals as time standards, the costs of research and development could not be recovered in small to medium series production. Competition from South East Asia forced the Hatot Company to abandon its industrial branch and concentrate on the sale of quality watches and domestic battery electric clocks marketed under the names "ATO-LEPAUTE" and "ATO - PAUL GARNIER".

History of Durowe - Watch Movement Manufacturer

DUROWE (Deutsche Uhrenrohwerke) is a German watch movement manufacturer that in the 1970s was the largest producer of watch movements in Germany.

In the early 20th century, the German watch-making industry primarily used movements manufactured in Switzerland. To help the German watch-making industry become independent of these Swiss movement manufacturers, DUROWE was founded in 1933 by Erich Lacher. Erich was the son of Frieda Lacher, the co-founder of the German watch maker Lacher & Co ("LACO").

Erich Lacher intended DUROWE to supply not only LACO but other German watchmakers as well. DUROWE grew strongly in the 1930s, with the number of movements produced peaking at 30,000 per month until the outbreak of the Second World War. During the war, DUROWE continued to manufacture movements, in particular th

DUROWE grew strongly in the 1930s, with the number of movements produced peaking at 30,000 per month until the outbreak of the Second World War. During the war, DUROWE continued to manufacture movements, in particular the large chronometer-grade movements used in the Beobachtungsuhren (B-Uhr) commissioned by the German government for use by the Luftwaffe, of which Laco was one of five manufacturers.

At the end of the war, the DUROWE factory in Pforzheim was destroyed by an Allied bombing raid. However, DUROWE and Laco had recommenced production by 1949. With the assistance of the Marshall Plan, a five-storey building to house the Laco and DUROWE operations was built which housed more than 1,400 workers by the middle of the 1950s. Production of movements rose to 80,000 per month.

During the 1950s, DUROWE developed a number of innovative movements, including one of the first German automatic movements and some of the slimmest German movements manufactured at the time. However, due to a downturn in business, the DUROWE and Laco brands were sold to the Timex Corporation on 1 February 1959. The primary motivation for the purchase was so that Timex could gain access to research that DUROWE had done into electronic timepieces, however the watches were generally not commercially successful. Six and a half years later, on 1 September 1965, DUROWE was purchased by the Swiss movement manufacturer ETA SA to gain access to the European markets of the then European Economic Community. ETA accordingly re-focused DUROWE on the production of mechanical watch movements.

BRIEF HISTORY OF NIVADA WRISTWATCHES

Nivada is a Swiss watch company. It was founded in 1879 in the town of Grenchen, Switzerland.
Though founded in 1879, there is much confusion of who owns the actual rights to the brand name "Nivada". They display the line at the Swiss Basel Watch & Jewelry Fair every year.

In 1879, Nivada started as a small family business. By 1906, Max Schneider aquired Nivada and with the visionary assistance of Eduardo Ruff the company reached international recognition by the late 20th century.

The watch company has become the preference of watch consumers for all five continents, especially in Mexico. Mexican customers have taken Nivada as "one of their own" and it is one of the best selling brands in the country's watch industry. Boutiques are consistently opening in department stores and jewelry stores around the world. Nivada's lines include the Sport, Classic, Slim, Moonmaster, Skymaster and Millionaire.

BRIEF HISTORY OF ORIENT WATCHES

Orient Watch was founded in Tokyo by Shogoro Yoshida, more than a century ago in 1901. And though the world was a very different place back then, everyone still needed to know what time it was – much like today’s world.

In those early watch making days, Orient Watch had some competition in the watch industry at home. Seiko and Citizen were big names in the watch making industry, and for many years Orient was ranked number three when it came to watch companies.

From the early beginnings, Orient Watch has been focused on making the best mechanical watches that money can buy. The history of Orient Watch is interesting because Orient Watch is a company that started out with a good idea, and never once veered onto a different course. The long years have helped Orient Watch to produce high-quality, long-lasting watches that anyone can afford.

In 1985 Orient and Seiko established a joint factory. Orient produces a range of automatic and quartz watches ranging in price from reasonably inexpensive (about 50USD / 50Euro) to very expensive (7000USD). Orient Star and Orient Star Royal are the middle and high-end brands, with the Royal Orient being their flagship line." - quoted from Orient Watch Company, Wikipedia

Today, Orient Watch is known all over the globe. With manufacturing facilities in Singapore, Brazil, and Japan, Orient Watch today offers more styles and types of watches than ever. Today, Orient Watch offers watches in many designs including quartz, light powered, and of course mechanical.

Mitsuo Mimura, President of Orient Watch in 2006 quoted in Orient Watch website “In the Japanese market, we supply high-quality watches, such as "Orient Star Royal," our prestigious mechanical watch series, which our customers want to carry with them for many years. In overseas markets, our strategy is to develop new outlets for our products mainly in countries and areas with high potential economic growth, and increase our sales of budget-price watches."

For more than a hundred years, Orient Watch has been a well-known and respected name in the watch making industry. Today, many other companies try to reach the success and the high standards that Orient Watch has set. When it comes to mechanical watches, Orient Watch is the first name in the business. For high quality at an affordable price, Orient Watch is one of the better choices in watches. But don’t just take my word for it. Let the history of Orient Watch speak for itself.
