Description

This is an automatically translated text.
The Buttes Watch Company (bwc) was found in 1924 by Mr. Arthur Charlet, in his hometown of Buttes (Canton Neuchâtel). The "Val de Travers", an aesthetic high valley in Switzerland near the French border, was known to watchmakers in the 18th century. After the economic crisis of 1923, which also affected Switzerland in an oppressive way, he founded the pioneer courage as a watch manufacturer.
From then on, bwc-Swiss was the only brand name used in Europe and English-speaking countries. It is also registered as a worldwide trademark.
Packaging in the early yearsThe company began with the production of several varieties of pocket watches. the first markets were initially launched in Germany and later expanded to England, Spain, Poland and Hungary. Subsequently, the sales areas were opened to the most important trading countries in Europe at that time, such as Greece and Turkey. the main foreign markets were the United States, Cuba and Canada.
Mr. Arthur Charlet's son-in-law, Mr. Edwin Volkart, took over the company in 1953 and continued to run it with alacrity.
bwc-Swiss has quickly realized the state of the art in watch technology. By 1967, electromechanical watches were also part of their watch collection. Thus in 1972 the bwc collection already had the first digital quartz dial and in 1975 the first fully developed analogue quartz watch.
Chronograph catalogue Due to the lack of competent workers in the "Val de Travers" valley and the change of ownership in 1991, the company had to move its production plant to the Canton of Solothurn. All business activities of bwc Fabrique d'Horlogerie sa / Bienne were then used by Reek GmbH in Pforzheim, Germany.
In the course of the reorganisation in 1999, bwc-Swiss was integrated into the newly formed Maddox ag in Pforzheim, Germany.
