Holy Frères
In 1893 an engraver’s workshop under the name “Etablissement Holy Frères à St-Imier” was established in Saint-Imier. It was owned by brothers François (born in 1867) and Jules Holy (born in 1872), who were natives of Saint-Imier. The company originally specialised in decorating cases for timekeepers and later produced medals and printing plates. In 1914 the Holy brothers won a gold medal at the Swiss National Exhibition in Bern.
