Armand Nicolet watches were born in Tramelan. In the end of 19th century, this region was a birthplace of many craftsmen, watchmakers and other classes, who had escaped from political repressions in France. Consequently, it became one of the main centers of modern Swiss watchmaking. In that time, a boy named Arman Nicolet was born. Since his childhood Arman helped his father to make watches, having no idea how to do it. Arman Nicolet preferred playing with wheels to toys, they were his favorite hobby. Then his father saw his son’s talent and knew he would do it for the rest of his life. Soon Arman’s father began teaching him watchmaking, and at the age of 20 Arman opened his workshop, where he made watches and movements. Arman Nicolet died in 1939. After him the dynasty was headed by his son. He was very careful with each detail, keeping its originality, as well as his father. Nowadays Arman Nicolet watch company is owned by other persons, but they strictly keep the watch character inherited from Arman Nicolet.
