Brands in Val-de-Travers
Founded 2015 under Chopard ownership in Fleurier (in the Val-de-Travers, the same valley that hosts Bovet and Voutilainen). Named for the 18th-century French-Swiss horologist Ferdinand Berthoud, whose marine chronometers anchor the brand’s technical heritage. Production is roughly 70 watches per year across the catalog.
Founded 1996 by master restorer Michel Parmigiani in Fleurier, in the canton of Neuchâtel’s Val-de-Travers, the valley the brand takes its name from. Backed by the Sandoz Family Foundation, Parmigiani vertically integrated case-, dial-, and movement-making under one roof, an unusually complete manufacture for an independent of its size.
Founded 1874 by Georges-Edouard Piaget in La Cote-aux-Fees (Neuchatel Jura) as a movement supplier to established houses. The family brand launched under its own name in 1943 and began setting ultra-thin records in 1957 with the 2 mm-thick hand-wound caliber 9P. Today Piaget operates a second facility in Plan-les-Ouates (Geneva) for high jewellery and precious-metal production, but the La Cote-aux-Fees manufacture remains the movement heart, producing all calibers including the record-setting 1200P (2.35 mm automatic) and the 900P (hand-wind, 2 mm). Piaget is part of Richemont Group.
Founded by Kari Voutilainen (Finnish-born, Swiss-trained) in Môtiers, in the Neuchâtel Val-de-Travers. Production is roughly 50 watches per year across the entire catalog; the workshop produces every component (dial, hands, movement) in-house except for the hairspring.
