About the Brand
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.
