AUGUSTE REYMOND
INTRODUCTION
AUTHENTIC TIME, SINCE 1898
Over more than a century the company AUGUSTE REYMOND has manufac-
tured watches in Tramelan, a village located in the Jura Mountains, the very
heart of the Swiss Watch Valley. A place far away from the hustle of the
big cities, a place where time is still a value on its own, not just a matter of
ephemeral trends or fast money, a place where we can still take our time to
create timeless beauty.
Far aside from the mass production of the big luxury groups, our independent,
family-owned company offers you the genuine luxury of an authentic product,
which is hand-assembled only in small series by our watchmakers in our own
workshops in Tramelan.
BRIEF HISTORY
The history of AUGUSTE REYMOND or ARSA (AUGUSTE REYMOND S.A.)
begins in 1898, when a young man of twenty-six rented a small apartment
in Tramelan and hired a handful of watch-makers to start manufacturing
watches that would bear his name. By 1910 his modest business had grown
into a huge factory that employed over 100 people in its own premises. The
well appreciated movements produced by the Manufacture A. Reymond,
worldwide known under the name UNITAS, were famous for its reliability
and its price, were also supplied to numerous other watch manufacturers.
Today, as far as in the past, still the same values are important. AUGUSTE
REYMOND should stay in private propriety and continue to build reliable
watches, which shadow our enthusiastic customers all over the world all
day long.
