Other Websites of Related Interest About
the Lemania Watch Company
A brief history of another great name in Swiss watch movement
manufacture. Lemania was first acquired by the Swatch Group to primarily
supply movements for Brequet. Today it has been entirely absorbed into Brequet and
the Lemania name has sadly vanished. http://www.lemania15.com/aboutlemania.html Unitas
Reference Site
I launched this website several years ago to document UNITAS movements and
it served as a model for the Valjoux Reference Site. http://www.unitas.netfirms.com/ |
