In 1917 Paul Hasler founded the “Terminages d`Horlogerie Paul Hasler” company to assemble high quality watches for some well-known brands. The company had 20 workers. The period of 1930-1936 was significant for an economic crisis and many watch companies had to retire from business, but Paul Hasler's company continued its development. In 1946 Paul set up Hasler Frères company together with his brother David (1897-1951). Being highly-qualified watchmakers, David and Paul started producing their own watch movements, mainly for exploitation in the USA.
In 1961 David's and Paul's sons, Wilfred and Eric became partners and renamed the company Hasler & Co. The company found new markets for its products' realization in Europe. The high quality and the successful management were a push to the company's rapid development. In 1974 the company was renamed Hasler & Co. SA. In 1975 the company started producing quarts watches as well ass mechanical ones.
