Michel Chevalet reminds us of the principles of mechanical watchmaking before presenting the revolution proposed by the contribution of quartz in watchmaking.
It is one of the great French watchmaking houses... The brand LEROY, founded in 1785, decided to set up a workshop in Besançon under the impetus of the director of the new company. After Switzerland, LEROY brought luxury watches to Franche-Comté. This establishment allows Besançon to reconnect with its past as the French capital of watchmaking. The Mayor of Besançon is pleased to inaugurate the new workshops of the prestigious watch manufacturer LEROY, owned by FESTINA.
A new setting for the company Festina France installed in completely renovated premises. Present in Besançon for 10 years, the major watch group employs 65 people at the bisontin site. Two main activities: after-sales service where watchmakers repair Festina watches for the whole world and distribution: 1 million watches pass through Besançon each year.
The exact time does not exist, despite all the time measurement systems: from the sundial to the astronomical watch. Brest’s time is not that of Paris and even less that of Nice and there is only one hour in France.
