History of Armand Nicolet
Armand Nicolet’s story began in 1875 in Tramelan, a small town in the Bernese Jura in Switzerland. Armand Nicolet was born into a family of watchmakers, and after a successful apprenticeship, he opened his own watchmaking workshop.
The year 1902 proved to be a turning point for Armand Nicolet with the unveiling of a pocket watch with “guilloché” rose gold case, enamel dial, single-button chronographic function, complete calendar, repeating hours, quarter hours, and minutes.
Armand Nicolet continued to refine his technical skills over the years. He spent a lot of time studying design and form which influenced his timepieces. His watches were considered masterpieces of beauty, quality, and precision.
