In 1860, Jacques Didisheim-Goldschmidt founded a watch making workshop at St Imier, Switzerland which he named Juvenia. Shortly after he relocated to La Chaux-de-Fonds. In 1880, the company produced one of the first ladies wristwatches and in 1914 it manufactured the smallest movement yet made. The company became renowned for its unusual, avant-garde and trend-setting designs.
