The BERTHET Company started business in 1888. Ever since, it has been refining its knowledge and expérience in clockmaking to offer a comprhensive range of high quality products.

           Joseph BERTHET is the founder of the first factory. He was the son of a school teacher who died prematurally in an accident. Like a few other young people from the area, he went to the other side of the Swiss border to learn the art of clockmaking. Joseph BERTHET first began as an apprentice in the village "Des Bois" in Switzerland.
In 1880, he came back to Charmauvillers without any money as at that time people had to pay for an apprenticeship.               He settled down in a farm on the road of the "Goule" with a few tools an in mind the idea of working in clockmaking for a living.
His brother Edouard BERTHET was with him. Joseph BERTHET handed him down his knowledge.  When Edouard BERTHET died, Joseph worked alone until his sons Edouard, Albert and Camille BERTHET were old enough to help him.

In 1893, Mr. BERTHET was awarded a bronze medal at the exposition of Besançon : it was a fair
reward for his care of clockmaking and the time he spent at the workshop.

The year 1952 was a new step the BERTHET company. With BERTHET Claude ( son of  Camille BERTHET ), a modern factory was build and fitted with the last machines.  In two or three decades the scale of clockmaking in charmauvillers changed to the one of an industry.

In the heart of the Jura mountains, between France and Switzerland, this land of utopia and dreativity where Courbet , LeCorbusier, Gide, Cendrars, Breguet, Manessier "ont puisé leur génie", is now a pole of excellence where the limits of the infinitely small and the perfection are constantly being redefined.
