SINCE WHEN YEMA???

Few people know that Yema is a French brand... And yes, if you ask a foreigner which French brands come to mind, they answer Lip and Yema. And for good reason, the Yema company began in 1948, it was Mr. Belmont who had the idea. Over the years, this French brand has built a solid reputation on the market for chronometers and diving watches. In 1965, thanks to the success of the American market,  Yema is proclaimed the most exported French brand. In 1982 Yema equipped French astronauts and became an official supplier to the CNES. In 1982, Yema crossed the historic threshold of 2 million units produced. The brand then underwent several successive takeovers: Matra in 1982, CGH in 1988 and Yema SA in 1995.

Since 1948 Yema has cultivated its image as a multi-specialist and produces superb quality timepieces that are collectible today.

By delving into the world of waterproof watches, we will understand that they are not all made to take in water, and perhaps even less a shower...

In the past, when you talked to a watchmaker about water he would immediately make a face of disapproval. Hans Wilsdorf was a pioneer, the idea he had in 1926, of closing the winding crown of a watch by screwing, seems to us today to make good sense. With hindsight it is almost possible to say that the most significant progress of the 20th century in the field of watchmaking was the success of making watch cases waterproof. Nowadays, every brand offers at least one diving model in its collection.

But be careful, it is always good to keep in mind that a waterproof watch must be rinsed in fresh water after a stay in sea water. that it is preferable to ensure the water resistance of your favorite watch before the holidays, rather than having to dry everything at your favorite watchmaker and that the screwed winding crown is only of interest if it ballast...
