History of the Heuer precision watch manufacturer (source: Watchwiki):
Heuer, Edouard
Swiss watchmaker
Edouard Heuer was born in 1840 as the son of a shoemaker in Brügg, Canton Bern.
In 1860, he founded the Heuer watchmaking factory in Saint-Imier in the Swiss Jura. In 1864, he relocated the company to Biel . As early as 1876, he established a branch in London .
Edouard Heuer was the first watchmaker to venture into mass production of chronographs . His basic idea was to make chronographs technically simpler and therefore cheaper to manufacture. His main focus was on simplifying the previously common coupling for the chronograph mechanism. This consisted of numerous components, the manufacture, finishing, and assembly of which represented a considerable cost factor. The so-called oscillating pinion he developed is a no less effective module: a movably mounted shaft with two pinions. One pinion is in constant mesh with the second wheel of the movement , while the opposite pinion engages the chronograph center wheel after the start pusher is pressed and briefly rotated. This creates the connection, and the chronograph starts running. Pressing another button moves the oscillating pinion away from the center wheel, and the chronograph stops. The Parisian Bureau de la Propriété Industrielle granted a patent for this development on May 3, 1887 . This principle is still used today, for example in the well-known automatic caliber Valjoux 7750 .
From 1880 onwards, Edouard Heuer was the first watchmaker to mass-produce chronographs .
Edouard Heuer died on April 30 , 1892 .
On 1 January 1964, the Heuer watch manufacturer and the Leonidas Watch Factory , Saint-Imier, merged to form Heuer-Leonidas .
In 1985 the company merged with the Techniques d'Avant Garde TAG Group and was renamed TAG Heuer .
