Cimier’s tradition

A tradition of manufacturing robust watches

In 1929, Armand Lapanouse, who worked with his brother Joseph, submitted his patent for a movement frame for the Roskopf watch. This ingenuity allowed Lapanouse to continue manufacturing robust movements and by 1970, the company produced 1.5 million pieces every

year.

By that time, the company employed more than 500 people in its manufacture located in Bubendorf.
