Borel Fils & Cie
Name
Borel Fils & Cie

Borel Fils & Cie was founded in 1856 in Neuchatel, Switzerland, by watchmaker Jules Borel. In 1859, Jules Borel and his brother-in-law Paul Courvoisier founded the Borel-Corvoisier company. Under this banner, they managed to win many prizes, including first place in 1866 in a measurement accuracy competition. In 1898, Jules' son Ernest Borel took over the reins of the company. He renamed the company Ernest Borel & Cie in 1899. In 1936, the company was passed on to Ernest's son, Jean-Louis, who managed until 1975, when the company was sold to a Hong Kong company.
