The watch shows hardly any signs of wear. There are no deep scratches, dents or similar, the glass is scratch-free. story of the brand Founded in 1924 by Arthur Charlet in Buttes (Canton of Neuchâtel), the Swiss manufacturer bwc (Buttes Watch Co.) is known for producing affordable mechanical watches of solid quality. At that time, the focus was still on the manufacture of pocket watches. In 1953, the founder's father-in-law, Edwin Volkart, took over the company. Since 2003, bwc has been owned by the Pforzheim-based company Starck-Uhren, and since 2004 watches have been manufactured in Biel and Pforzheim under a new concept. The Buttes Watch Co. was founded around 1901 by "Henri" Alexandre Jeannin-Rosselet in Buttes in the canton of Neuchâtel. He had previously been active in watchmaking in Fleurier. He registered the brand name bwc in 1905. In 1924, Arthur Charlet took over the company in his birthplace. He was also involved in the company Charlet Bilat & Co. Charlet's son-in-law Edwin Volkart took over management in 1953, and it was then that the company really took off, focusing on chronographs like this one. The company used Lemania, Landeron and Valjoux movements. From the very beginning, the history of Buttes Watch Co. was linked to the gold and watchmaking town of Pforzheim in Germany. The first customer in 1924 was Reinhold Reeck. Initially, the focus of production was on pocket watches of all designs of the time for the German market. In addition to Germany, the Buttes Watch Co. opened up further markets in England, Spain, Poland and Hungary. Later, the sales area was extended to the most important European countries as far as Greece and Turkey. Overseas, the main markets were the usa, Cuba and Canada. The Buttes Watch Co. recognized the trend towards wristwatches at an early stage and began producing them in 1930. The fef-Peseux and fhf calibers were mainly used for these watches. A qualitatively new era began in 1938 with the use of the caliber as 1130, which was later used by all countries involved in World War II. World War II, which later acquired the highest quality reputation. Even today, watches with this caliber are referred to as "Wehrmacht watches". This movement was later replaced by the ut 6380 caliber. |
