Description
This is an automatically translated text.
In 1848 Louis Brandt creates a comptoir d'établissage (system of subcontracting the manufacture of the elements of the final watch) in La Chaux De Fond where precision pocket watches are made. The watches are sold throughout Europe and particularly in England. In July 1877 he joined forces with his second son Louis Paul and together they founded the company Louis Brandt et fils. Two years later Louis Brandt died on 5 July 1879.

Louis Paul and his brother Cesar settled in Bienne in 1880 and founded their watchmaking factory. Several brands came out of the assembly workshops: Jura, Patria, Celtic Gurzulen, Labrador and the one that interests us, Helvetia.

The production reaches 100,000 watches per year. The largest of the Swiss watch industry. The model we are interested in is a rare and beautiful Helvetia chronograph circa 1930. It is a chromed metal case of 35mm diameter with olive pushers. Beautiful black lacquered dial with painted Arabic numerals. Chronograph with three counters with minute totalizer at 3 o'clock and permanent second hand at 9 o'clock. Mechanical movement with manual winding.

This beautiful example with the stylized case is resulting from the know-how of the house Omega watch has collection.
