What is Aerowatch known about?
Aerowatch, officially Aéro Watch SA, is a Swiss watch manufacturer founded in 1910 in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The company is family-owned.
A travelling company
Shortly after its founding, Aerowatch was based in Fleurier for a long time. In May 1935 the head office moved to Neuchâtel. By the mid-thirties the brand was already exporting its watches to more than fifteen countries. Later the company produced in Le Noirmont, and today its headquarters is in Saignelégier in the Swiss Jura.
From pocket watch to wristwatch
- In 1942 Maxime Crevoisier took over the watch factory. With that change of ownership, the company specialised in pocket watches.
- In 1959 his son Georges Crevoisier took over the management and expanded the distribution network to more than thirty countries.
- In 2004 the management decided to expand the range with a collection of wristwatches.
What Aerowatch is known for
Aerowatch made its name with a wide range of pocket and pendant watches, which were checked according to an extensive testing procedure. Aerowatch also made watches for others: the Zurich jeweller Beyer's own watches, for example, were made by Aerowatch in Saignelégier. Wearing an Aerowatch means wearing a piece of Swiss watchmaking tradition that goes back more than a century.
