In 1858 Ditisheim opened a workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds that quickly grew into the manufactory “Maurice Ditisheim”; in 1894 the factory began producing watches under the brand name “Vulcain”. Ditisheim was one of the first patrons of the MIH (Musée International d’Horlogerie), which was the the international watch museum in La Chaux-de-Fonds.
