Brands in Saint-Imier

Longines
Saint-Imierest. 1832
Founded by Auguste Agassiz in Saint-Imier, in the Bernese Jura, and the brand has produced its watches there continuously for nearly two centuries, one of the longest unbroken site-and-brand pairings in the trade.
Montblanc
Villeretest. 1906
Founded 1906 in Hamburg, Germany as a pen manufacturer (Simplo Filler Pen Co., renamed Montblanc in 1910). The Richemont Group acquired Montblanc in 1993 and in 2006 purchased the historic Minerva manufacture in Villeret (Bernese Jura), giving the brand a genuine Swiss lever-escapement manufacture with roots to 1858. The Villeret facility produces in-house column-wheel chronograph calibers and pocket-watch complications for the high-end Heritage and 1858 Monopusher lines. The broader Montblanc watch range uses MB-coded ETA/Sellita movements.
