Travel to Swiss Watch Valley
Posted On Tuesday, March 16th, 2010 By admin
The process of fulfilling one’s work at home was quite wide-spread in the days preceding the industrialization. It was first of all implied to the textiles manufacturing. The raw materials were delivered to workers at their own homes, and then the special agents took away the finished articles. The same procedure was also applied to the area of watch-making. The watch pieces as well as the finished watches were greatly appreciated by the workers for their small size which made them easily transportable and much more popular than lace-making, which used to be put into common practice during the long winters. Swiss watches making is usually in the mini factories in the “Watch making camber area”. This camber area starts from Geneva in the west, comes through Jura in the northwest, to Schaffhausen in the north which is on the bank of Rhine. Apart from Geneva, the watch making centers include Neuchatel, Biel-Bienne and Grenchen.
To this day, Audemars Piguet is the oldest watch manufacturer still owned by it’s founding family. Still owned by its founding family, Audemars Piguet is world-renowned for their commitment to quality manufacturing methods and innovative designs. Elegance and luxury are synonymous with this brand, both qualities ingrained in their designs with a focus on tradition. This company is perhaps single-handedly responsible for the resurgence in popularity of the mechanical watch in the late 1980s.
