The Watches of Comor
–
The present watch represents the finest technical and artistic traditions in the field of horology, featuring techniques such as cloisonné enameling and complications such as minute and quarter repeating, chronographs and automata.
–
The Comor Watch Company was acquired in 1970 by Dr. Adolf L. Benz, who trained in horology at the Watchmakers of Switzerland Inc., in addition to his doctorate in Economics from the University of Bern. He started working in the export of watches in the 1960’s and purchased Comor with the intention of making the best quality watches. In producing watches with the above mentioned techniques and complications, he wanted only the best craftsmen in the field to produce them.
–
Bringing together the best of workmanship and watchmaking, the watches of Comor can be considered works of art, making each piece enjoyable to the owner’s eye. This complicated movement dates to the early 1900’s, while the case was manufactured in the 1970’s or 1980’s, under Dr. Benz’s ownership. The movement was encased at that time as well and the enamel miniatures were painted by artisans at Comor.
