Précis-Trame SA was founded in 1983 after the closure of the regional movement blank factories, including Unitas SA. In 1987, to meet the growing need for movement blanks for mechanical watches, Precitrame SA started developing its own CNC transfer machines.

Since 1990, the machines department has been selling its equipment to the largest watchmaking brands, while the movement blank department has become their sub-contractor.

In 2001, following changes to its machines department, Precitrame SA was split into two distinct companies: • Ebauches Micromécanique Precitrame SA, specialising in the manufacture of watchmaking and microtechnical components, with 120 members of staff • Precitrame Machines SA, focusing on the design and sales of CNC transfer machines
