In 1870 master watchmaker Henri-Frédéric Sandoz (usually just Henri Sandoz; born 1851 Le Locle, died 1913 Tavannes) founded a watch manufacturing company in Le Locle, Switzerland, in his own name: "Henri Sandoz and Co." Henri departed from the company in 1891 for unknown reasons and another family member, Jules Sandoz, continued the business. The Sandoz brand continues to this day used by at least four different companies around the world. Henri Sandoz had left the company he founded in Le Locle to form the Tavannes Watch Co. SA in 1891 in the small Jura mountain municipality of Tavannes in the French-speaking Swiss canton of Bern. Sandoz was a talented engineer and under his direction the company developed its own calibres (watch movements) and also advanced automatic machines (specialised lathes, milling machines, etc.) to manufacture them. It also supplied watchmaking machinery to other manufacturers. Very soon after the Tavannes Watch Co. had been founded, certainly by 1892, Sandoz and Schwob Frères came to a mutually beneficial arrangement. Schwob Frères had a well developed distribution network established over their 30 years in the business through which they could market and sell Sandoz's watches, which instantly gave the Tavannes Watch Co. access to a large market instead of having to develop it from scratch. It appearsRef. 1 that Schwob Frères created the name Cyma as a brand name for Tavannes watches sold through the Schwob Frères network. Cyma was short and easily pronounced, although being of Swiss-French origin it should be pronounced see-mah, which is not immediately apparent to English speakers. However, this wasn't an amalgamation; the the two companies remained separate and the Tavannes name continued. The Tavannes Watch Co. sold watches as well as machinery to other companies, and Schwob Frères continued to sell other watches under its other brand names. Sandoz was a prolific inventor. Between 1889 and 1907 he registered 39 patents for improvements to watches in his own name, and a further 11 were registered by the Tavannes Watch Co. SA under his direction before his death in 1913.
