Davosa Davosa is a Swiss watch brand that the manufacturer Fabrique d'horlogerie Hasler & Co SA in Tramelan is made.

History

The art of watch making developed more than 200 years ago in the mountainous region of the Swiss Jura, which stretches from Basel to Geneva. It was often peasants who learned this craft during the long winter months to also improve their sparse income. The history of the brand can be traced back to one of those peasant and watchmaker families. The Hasler family included four brothers, two of whom left their little mountain village in the Vallé de Joux to work in Geneva and Biel watchmakers. Another brother, Abel Frédéric Hasler began in 1881 as a manufacturer of small series of handmade silver clocks. Six sons learned the watchmaking trade, one of them, Paul Hasler founded the Terminages d'Horlogerie in 1917, a company specializing in the assembly of brand watches. He succeeded in leading the company through the economically difficult years between 1930 and 1936 with their high unemployment, Which forced many watchmakers to task. At this time Paul Hasler already employed 12 of his own watchmakers.

The founding of Hasler Frères

Together with his brother David Hasler as a participant, Paul Hasler founded Hasler Frères in 1946 and in 1974 he was renamed Hasler & Co. SA. At this time, the company started producing its own models, which also found many buyers in the USA. At the same time, parts and complete watches were delivered in the private label business. In 1953, Hasler & Co. SA moved to its current production facility in Tramelan.

The Davosa brand

In 1987, a small collection was created under the Davosa brand, which is characterized by chronographs with the Valjoux 7750 and 7751 works, as well as other special features such as gear reserve and regulators. At the Inhorgenta 1998 in Munich, this collection was presented for the first time, which has since served as a name for the whole brand. Today the Davosa brand is owned by a family company and has a worldwide distribution. The portfolio includes both mechanical and quartz-driven watches for men and women.
