In 1883, a Winterthur watchmaker by the name of Gottilieb Hauser brainstormed the idea for the Swiss Watchmakers Corporation (Schweizerische-Uherenmacher-Genossenschaft) as a distributor of standardized Swiss watch components. Once the word got out, other watchmakers rushed to join this organization with the guarantee that it would boost their productivity and output. Eventually Schweizerische-Uherenmacher-Genossenschaft, evolved to the point that it was not only distributing parts, but creating then as well.
Some of the most recognized accomplishments in watch making occurred during the mid to late 19th century. These included the development of precision accurate escapements and the utilization of interchangeable watch parts. By the time we had reached the 1880's, many European watch companies had integrated standardized parts into their common routine. However, demand greatly outweighed the resources and manpower that these companies had. Therefore, corporations like Schweizerische-Uherenmacher-Genossenschaft were created to directly distribute watch parts from one company to another, saving them a great deal of time and money.
Now in the dawn of a whole new century, the initiative of our forefathers has resurfaced. Derived from the influence of the Swiss Watchmakers Corporation and watchmakers who supported it is the determination to continually advance many aspects of contemporary watch making. These ostentatious watches from Schweizerische-Uherenmacher-Genossenschaft symbolize the eternal persistence that humanity has to test the limits of our imagination.
Join us as we remember yesterday and reach towards tomorrow.
