Tools on paper (1958)

Before the watch are the tools to produce the components and build them into the timepiece. Bergeon is the oldest surviving watchmaking tool company in existence. They have been supplying tools to the industry for over 200 years and are, in their domain, a legend. Every watchmaker in the world will have either bought or inherited Bergeon tools at some moment during their life.
