Agassiz
Agassiz Watch Co. S.A. was founded in 1876 and specialized in high quality watches. A new caliber was designed based on regular 19”’ watch movements, smaller in diameter and as slim as technically possible. The firm designed entirely new and even thinner movements: first 17”’- 24/12^th, then 20/12^th and 17/12^th. Later, Agassiz merged with Touchon & Co., Geneva, which specialized in very thin movements.
