Cortébert Watches at BUZZUFY: A Legacy of Swiss Precision and Innovation
BUZZUFY proudly offers a curated selection of Cortébert timepieces, celebrating the rich heritage of one of Switzerland's most esteemed watchmakers. Established in 1790 by Abraham-Louis Juillard in the village of Cortébert, the brand quickly gained recognition for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Cortébert was renowned for producing its own movements and supplying calibers to prestigious brands such as Rolex and Panerai. Notably, the brand introduced a jump-hour movement in the late 19th century, a design later adopted by IWC.
Historical Significance
Cortébert's reputation was solidified through its association with various railway systems. The brand supplied reliable timepieces to the Turkish and Italian railways, as well as several European streetcar systems. In 1927, responding to Mussolini's directive, Cortébert began distributing watches in Italy under the "Perseo" brand name, which continued to serve the Italian railway system post-World War II.
Iconic Models
Among Cortébert's notable creations is the Caliber 620, a cushion-cased movement favored by collectors for its precision and design. Additionally, the brand's 1940s chronographs were esteemed for their durability and were popular among professionals and adventurers.
Modern Revival
While Cortébert ceased operations in the early 1970s due to the quartz crisis, the brand's legacy endures. Contemporary collections draw inspiration from its storied past, offering models that blend vintage aesthetics with modern functionality. Collections such as the Elevation Worldtime, Couzinet Chronograph, and Clipper pay homage to Cortébert's tradition of excellence.
