BRAND'S HISTORy
More than 250 years of Fine Swiss Watchmaking expertise can be
found within the foundation of every GV2 timepiece.
Jacques Gevril, the name behind both GV2 and its parent brand
Gevril, was one of the founding forefathers of the sublime craft
of fine Swiss Watchmaking. He was a most sought-after master of
horologic complications at a time when Swiss Watchmaking had
just begun to become what it is today.
Gevril began as a restorer of timepieces in La Chaux-de Fonds
where he left his name on numerous movements within both
clocks and watches as he rode to success. In 1743 he created his
"Chronometer" and in 1744 his first "Repetition Dial." In perhaps
his most notable achievement, Gevril became the first exporter
of Swiss timepieces when he was called upon by Spain in the year
1758, to produce a timepiece for His Majesty, the King. Jacques
set out with the famed Pierre Jaquet-Droz on a historic journey
to Madrid to present his masterpiece. The King was so impressed
with Gevril's creation that he appointed him the Watchmakerto
the Crown. He became known for his impeccable craftsmanship
and for creating timepieces of unmistakable beauty and quality.
