"Over a Century: Baume and Company Watchmakers London and La Chaux-de-Fonds" - Original magazine article (magazine clipping) which was removed from a 1949 Swiss magazine. Text in the article is in English.

The article opens with:

"The firm of Baume and Company, watchmakers and representatives of Longines and Heuer watches for Great Britain and the greater part of the Empire, recently celebrated the 115th anniversary of its foundation. Its story is that of an Anglo-Swiss commercial alliance which, stronger than political confederacies, has endured for over a century. Our readers will be interested in the activity of this enterprise, entirely devoted to the cause of Swiss quality watches."

"Les Bois" "The foundation of Baume and Company dates back to the years following the Neuchatel Revolution. In 1834, Louis Victor Baume and his brother Pierre Joseph Celestin started a small assembly centre at Les Bois, in the Bernese Jura."

The magazine article was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine.

The article is 2 pages in length (on 2 sheets of paper) and includes a few very small black and white images within the text.

As with most vintage magazine clippings, there is some yellowing to the paper due to age as well as light wear and small bends.

The magazine article was carefully removed directly from a Swiss magazine. It is not a copy or reproduction. The rest of the magazine is not included.
