The History:
Patek Watch History
Patek Philippe The Company known today as Patek Philippe was
founded in Geneva in 1839, by an exiled Polish Nobleman. Count
Antoine Norbert de Patek and his compatriot Francois Czapek.
The earliest watches were signed Patek, Czapek & co. until
1845 when Czapek left the partnership. Several years later the
company was joined by French watchmaker , Jean Adrien
Philippe, who later became the inventor of their famous
stem-winding and hand setting mechanism, a modern and reliable
concept.
Although Patek Philippe is rightly famous of the leading
manufacture of mechanical horology, the firm is also the
forefront of the industry as producers of industrial and
electronic timekeepers, with its highly accurate master-clocks
installed in power stations, hospitals, airports, and other
public buildings and factories. The firm clientele has
included many of the famous figures across history, including
royalty such as Queen Victoria, as well as distinguished
scientists, artists, authors and musicians, including Albert
Einstein, Marie Curie, Charlotte Bronte and Tchaikovsky.
Today, clearly most of the firm's production consists of
wristwatches, but Patek Philippe retains the ability to
produce pocket watches and clocks to order from highly
complicated movements to those decorated with enameled
miniature paintings and engravings. The company continues to
patent new inventions and improvements in horology and plays
an important role in maintaining the quality, prestige and
reputation of the Swiss watch making.
