In 1934 the company produced watches that meet all quality requirements of the Official Swiss precision checks. During the Second World War, many watch factories were forced to close. But in spite of this, the company has managed to survive. Moreover, it has become one of the participants of the Basel exhibition - an annual event, which is a significant event in the watchmaking world and that the company did not miss one.
