Precision movements with state-of-the-art equipment
By
With 45 years of experience in assembling watch movements, Swiss company Gilbert Petit-Jean has delivered as many as 400,000 movements per year to luxury watch brands – volumes unimaginable without the use of high-quality equipment. The collaboration between Gilbert Petit-Jean and precision tools manufacturer Lécureux began more than 30 years ago. Lécureux’s reputation owes much to the invention of the electric screwdriver for the watchmaking industry in the early 1960s. Since then, the company has expanded its range of products and offers chronometric cells, assembly and measuring machines, and linear or rotary transfer cells. The screwdriver remains a bestseller and has influenced the work of many other watchmakers.
