About the Watch

The movement of this watch is from Voumard, then stationed in Neuchâtel. Officially, three calibers of this manufacture appeared. The Hautvivre, the 2000 and the 2500. The movement manufactory also produced its own watches, but it was mainly a supplier for other companies. Therefore, it is a special pleasure for us when we saw that we could not find the movement in this watch anywhere. We assume that this is a concept from Voumard, which did not make it into mass production. This makes this watch an absolute rarity.

About the Brand

Germinal Voltaire watches trace their origins to 1848 when it began as MEYER FRERES. In 1895 PICARD & CIE registered trademarks for watches and watch parts, in 1901 the company was reformed under the same name. The trademarks of BLUM & FRERES MEYER were transferred to Picard & Cie after 1902. By 1915, the company was known as Fabrique Germinal. By this point, the company was producing and selling all sorts of innovative timepieces including some of the first wristwatches, ultra-flat pocket watches, and chronographs. Germinal was known for its specialty timepieces for its driver, aviator, engineer, and doctor consumers. All ‘Germinal’ watches were produced by Picard & Fils, Fabrique Germinal, SA La Chaux de Fonds. Their USA representatives were: Germinal-Voltaire Watches Vulcain Watch Co. of North America, New York, N. Y.
