The Most Famous Firm that Develops the Timepieces of the Best Quality

07-07-08

If we talk about the world famous watch producers, probably Patek Philippe is one of the celebrated. That company may show off its great and interesting history. There are a lot of useful discoveries that have been performed by this company. And this permanent search for excellence continues up to the our days. The watchmaking ideas proposed by Patek Philippe are really complex. These thoughts have been improved during years.

The Patek Philippe watches plant was founded in 1839 by Antoine Norbert de Patek and Francois Czapek.

This outstanding company was created by A. Patek and his French companion A. Philippe. They were quite estimable persons then. The last change of the company's name occurred in 1932 when the company was bought by the Stern brothers. Since that moment the world-known Patek Philippe watch manufacture has remained a family business.

Patek Philippe is also quite old because it is a fully independent business, while the overwhelming majority of the leading watch companies are a part of greater financial groups (Richmond etc.). That is enough to say that Patek Philippe dictates its proper rules to the watch market. The most costly, most sophisticated and most prestige timepieces in the world belong namely to Patek Philippe.
