Elgé Genève watches were produced by the French manufacturer Ets Yola based in the large town of Annecy in the French Haut-Savoie region, which has a strong watchmaking tradition, in fact Annecy is just over the Swiss border from Geneva. They were in business from the mid 1940’s until the early 1970’s and other Ets Yola brands comprised of Yola, Elga and Elgé.
There was a big export market from France to China during this period and many Elge watches are now seen in the Far East. They produced a number of dive watches with AS movements, compressor cases and a reasonably good quality.
