Haas Neveux & Cie., Geneva, founded in 1848 by Benjamin Haas, is one of the oldest manufacturers in Switzerland. While they devoted a great deal of attention to the style of their watches in the form of the pendants, bracelets, rings etc., Haas Neveux & Cie. always remained at the forefront of the construction of high precision chronometers, obtaining prizes from the Geneva Observatory. For example, in 1914 at the Geneva Observatory, one of their chronometers won 879 points, a result that was never again attained until 1925 and remains the world record for adjustment. Their increasing reputation led the company at the time to open a store on Fifth Avenue in New York in the early 1920’s.
