A LITTLE HISTORY:

The origin of the Phenix factory starts in 1873, the day when Messrs Jules Dubail (1846-1940), Jean-Baptiste Monnin and Joseph Frossard (1844-1918) from Porrentruy founded a firm named after them: “Dubail, Monnin, Frossard & Cie.”

In February 1902, the shareholders of the “Société d’Horlogerie” choose the company’s liquidation. Then, the company reborns under the corporate name of “Phénix Watch Co SA” .

Phénix, industrial pioneer

This firm was the first factory in Switzerland to have a registered caliber for a watch movement.

The company received the highest distinctions and rewards at the major international exhibitions:

La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1881; Amsterdam and Zurich in 1883; London in 1884; Antwerp in 1885, Rome in 1888; Paris in 1889; Geneva in 1896; Paris in 1900; Salonika in 1931.

The Société horlogère de Porrentruy (Watchmaking Company of Porrentruy), Phénix Watch Co S.A., was one of the pioneers in the mechanical production of watches with lever escapement and the firm concepts and builds the first machine to set the stones with “quilles” (pins). Similarly, it develops the famous lathe popularly known as “tour Dubail” (Dubail lathe) in the mechanical industry. This simple machine issues a highly precise work for the machining of particularly delicate pieces.
