Since 1791 when J. F. Bautte created his first ultra-thin timepieces, this Geneva master watchmaker has produced exceptional timepieces. Constant Girard developed the wristwatch concept in 1880 after German Emperor Wilhelm I ordered the novel timepieces for the German navy. Although not immediately popular, the concept eventually took off and in 1930, sales of wristwatches exceeded pocketwatches for the first time.
