Revue Thommen
Revue Thommen is a timepiece company founded in Switzerland which produces luxury wristwatches and aircraft equipment. History In 1853 Société d' Horlogerie à Waldenbourg was founded as a Swiss watch manufacturing company by the community of Waldenburg, Switzerland. It began to manufacture pocket watcheses in order to create work in the Waldenburg valley whose location at the route Basel-Geneva had become insignificant due to the newly established train connection Basel - Olten - Geneva. In 1859 Gédéon Thommen and Louis Tschopp acquired the company and privately restructured it. Gédéon Thommen was also the founder and promoter of the Waldenburgerbahn, a steam train connecting the valley’s villages. Tschopp left the company, which was renamed ''Gédéon Thommen’s Uhrenfabriken''. From 1905, the company was commercially registered as ''REVUE THOMMEN AG'', a joint-stock company. REVUE had been used earlier as a brand name of the company’s wrist watches, after they had ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
