History of the brands
Active filters
Manufacture d'Horlogerie Etna took the rather successful gamble of producing simple watches in Geneva, the city of luxury watches. The company disappeared with the quartz crisis.
Now defunct, this Grenchen manufacturer was very interested in chronographs, and was even the first to collaborate with Porsche Design on the development of their first range of watches.
Created by Sigmund Liebmann, the Liema brand was taken over by Paul Wyler, who used it as a complementary brand for his own company.
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.
