History
Founded in 1910 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Aerowatch saw itself as a symbol of modernity. The choice of an English name was an early pointer to the firm’s international ambitions and contained a reference to aviation, a world about to “take off” in a big way. The family business barely survived the First World War. However, it tried to make itself known with an advertisement. It boasts a slim line model of the time with the backdrop of a bi-plane in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Mrs Crevoisier
In 1942, Maxime Crevoisier took over the watch factory and settled in new premises in Neuchâtel. Thereafter, the company became specialists in the making of pocket-watches and pendants. After 46 years at the head of the firm, Mr. Georges Crevoisier (Maxime’s son) took a well-deserved retirement and handed over AEROWATCH to Denis Bolzli in 2001.
