The firm, Revue Thommen, was founded in 1853 by Gedeon Thommen and it developed into one of the leading companies in this sector. In the early days, only wristwatches and pocket watches were produced. They relied exclusively on their own movements, as was only fitting. Around 1920, Revue Thommen also decided to start producing instruments for the aviation industry. This segment was constantly expanded, and today, Revue Thommen’s instruments are among the leading products in the aviation industry. Small watches (wristwatches) were produced in La Chaux-de-Fonds for many years. The Revue Thommen Cricket* products (mechanical alarm clocks) became world famous. Many presidents of the United States were proud wearers of the Revue Thommen Cricket watch. http://www.timeway.ch/images/Revue-thommen-airspeed-classic-automatic.jpg http://www.timeway.ch/Revue-Thommen-Airspeed-Classics-Chronograph-IV?osCsid=704228024ce03765a43af7b1d0b2fb69 http://www.timeway.ch/Tissot-Moto-GP-2009?osCsid=704228024ce03765a43af7b1d0b2fb69 Designed around different elements of the mountain bike and the high speed motorcycle, this new watch from Tissot is itself a feat of performance in its ingenious use of the latest technologies in materials and design.

This uniquely refined lifestyle has led Longines designers and watchmakers to trade the strict rules of geometry for the challenges of exceptional form, giving birth to the Longines DolceVita collection.
