representation of what it takes to bring the best of everything into one exquisite watch there are some NUMBER_TOKEN people on the payroll a true giant of industry and one that many smaller brands seek to emulate contrast that to the building eduard and jules started out in and it is night and day i say building but that's misleading because it's probably causing you to think of a small industrial unit or serviced office space when in reality it was just a house this was a farming village not a thriving industrial town and so they had to make do the timing of this business venture was to be quite honest not great swiss watchmaking was evolving from a cottage industry that gave desperate farmers extra income during the winter season into an industry a nation could build a reputation on with jesus cult bringing the different stages of watchmaking under one roof and iwc establishing repeatable industrial processes for mass production the prospects for a pair of young watchmakers from the country looking to make it as independent were getting slimmer by the day but they had an ace up their sleeve the incredible watchmaking of jewel louis odomar had he been an average or even a great watchmaker the business would have fallen on its backside but jule could do what no machine or factory could do making incredible high complication watches to a level of quality that still baffles today and as the years and decades wore on there in the little farming village of librasis he stayed even when the pair passed away within a year of each other the business remained in la brassus handed down to sons paul louis odemar and paul eduard piguet just think about those naming choices for a second it remained right where it was employing less than NUMBER_TOKEN people all the way until NUMBER_TOKEN. even through the quartz crisis the brand continued to stick to its roots as a traditional family-run watchmaker and by all accounts it shouldn't be here today yet not only does the shiny new facility today continue to be located in la brasis the chair of the board is one jasmine odomar granddaughter of jour so it was mentioned before that odomar p gaye tried to take the brand to the next level by making watches for itself and not for others and that it did by refreshing jules graduation project in NUMBER_TOKEN it was a good start improved upon in NUMBER_TOKEN with a new even more complicated watch showcased at the paris world fair this watch had a grand and petty sonry plus minute repeater over three gongs an alarm a perpetual calendar and a split second chronograph with all the second hands deadbeat and it was promptly purchased by universal genevant re-cased as its own watch but somewhere in between those two watches in NUMBER_TOKEN another less grand but probably more important watch was made it wasn't a pocket watch like the other two but a wristwatch the first ever with a minute repeater that is impressive enough in itself a world first for odomar piguet and a place in history but this watch didn't wear the odomarp gang name on its dial it didn't wear any name on its style like all good small businesses odimarpige started building up its brand by producing one-off commissions unlikely to be filling jeweller's windows with its watches anytime soon producing unique pieces for certain discerning customers was
