On my way to Fleurier, with the mission of discovering a secret factory in which the names of prestigious brands are jostling each other, I was waiting in the conference room… The object that caught my attention had none of the incredible mechanical components that I was about to discover.

A wall clock that reminds us of that not so long ago time, the 60’s-70’s if I’ m correct, when the brand from the Acacias district in Geneva and since 1946, had a production unit entirely dedicated to electronics. The unbeatable tic-tacs, very loud, used to set the tempo in factories, or in silent version and with red filaments, used to invade the radio-TV studios.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Each unit was unique, as it was made to order from various modules that could be assembled side by side, and was tailored to the specific needs of each client.
