Jaquet + Girard Genève Fumé
"When fume dials were something unknown"
1968
Jaquet + Girard was founded on June 27, 1946 as R. Jaquet Geneve in Geneva, Switzerland, and renamed Jaquet + Girard in 1962. Unfortunately, little information is available A possible origin of the company could be, for example, the company FJ&G (F. Jaquet & Girard) founded on October 31, 1894 in La Chaux-de-Fond, which originally manufactured pocket watches. Another origin could be the company Jaquet-Droz, which made very complicated movements. On the other hand, there was the company Girard Perregaux which sued Jaquet-Girard in 1962 for changing the company name from Jaquet SA to Compagnie Des Montres Jaquet + Girard SA. It happened that a certain Girard, who had nothing to do with the famous Maison GP but owned the company, changed its name to Compagnie Des Montres Jaquet + Girard SA. From this was associated with Jaquet, which led to the change of the name of the company. This angered Girard-Perregaux, which had been selling its watches in the United States under the simple Girard brand name since 1935, and feared it might lead to confusion or deception. After many years of litigation, it was decided in April 1970 that Jaquet + Girard could keep its name. To the great annoyance of Girard-Perregaux.

5 Reasons for Vintage
Watches that only a few wearReason Nr. 1Nowadays, many high-quality watches are mass-produced. Vintage watches were often made in very small series with skilled craftsmanship instead of robots.
Quality that endures generationsReason Nr. 2In earlier eras, watches were designed to last forever, including the components. There is no such thing as obsolescence. That is what we consider quality at Zurichberg.
Polarizing and characteristic designsReason Nr. 3Today, only a few watch manufacturers can afford to launch polarising products and therefore produce watches that are aesthetically pleasing to all.
Value for MoneyReason Nr. 4Vintage watches are overall cheaper than new watches. This is because new watches fulfill the essential financial objectives for the manufacturers, whereas vintage watches are financially "depreciated", so to speak.
Longevity that feels greatReason Nr. 5We believe that in order to move towards a more sustainable future, it is absolutely necessary and logical to develop a sense for the quality of the past and to reuse products instead of producing new ones.
