Landeron

Landeron watch movements, produced by the Swiss company Landeron SA, are renowned for their historical significance in the watchmaking industry, particularly during the mid-20th century. Founded in 1873, Landeron became a key player in supplying affordable and reliable mechanical movements, notably chronograph calibers, to various watch brands. Their most famous movements, such as the Landeron 48 and its derivatives, were widely used in chronograph watches due to their robust design and cost-effectiveness, making them a staple in the industry before the quartz revolution. While Landeron ceased independent operations in the 1980s, their movements remain celebrated by collectors and enthusiasts for their durability and contribution to accessible timekeeping.
