cimier<br />
founded in 1924 by watchmaker r. lapanouse, the company lapanouse Sa produced Swiss watches under the brand name cimier, offering<br />
so-called “roskopf” watches with affordable movements. appealing to a larger audience led to great success for the company for decades, but<br />
discord among the family over future strategy led to its provisional production shut-down in 1985. However since 2003, the long-standing tradition<br />
of the brand has been carried forward by cEo martin Baertsch and his team with experience in different Swiss watch manufactures.<br />
