A curious destiny for this Biel-based manufacturer, founded in 1897 and best known today for its superb compasses, which are used the world over.
Guinand began as a manufacturer of high-quality counters and pocket chronographs. With the advent of wrist chronographs, Guinand used Ébauches SA calibers, but chronograph production has continued to the present day.
This American-Swiss manufacturer from the very early 20th century produced high quality watches, and created the Avia brand, taken over much later by Degoumois & Cie.
