Édouard Bovet
Édouard Bovet (14 September 1797 – 25 October 1849) was a Swiss watchmaker and founder of the Bovet Fleurier watch company.

Although the "''Genève''" tag is virtually compulsory for Swiss watches in the highest price bracket, it is the lesser-known name "''Fleurier''" name that marks Bovet watches.

Bovet was born in Fleurier, Switzerland. He was a native Esperanto speaker. He graduated from the University of Geneva in 1927 and received his doctorate ...
