Armand Nicolet

Armand Nicolet, a second-generation Swiss watchmaker, built his own Atelier d’Horlogerie in 1875, having successfully completed an excellent apprenticeship. By 1902, the Armand Nicolet brand was producing pocket watches with grand complications, such as a piece that consisted of a guilloché rose gold case, enamel dial, monopusher chronograph, complete calendar, repeating hours, quarter hours and minutes. Today, examples of these historically significant pieces can still be seen in the Armand Nicolet in Tramelan.
