They produced many watches and clocks, estimated in the millions during a good 150 years. Watches/ clocks were made individual, by hand, by one or more people and then assembled.

In very short time the production was more then double the usual way. Japy Freres also created the machines or modified machines to do this. Because of production amount/ speed and lower prices Japy Freres got many contracts by different army's to deliver watches and clocks. Japy Freres gave birth to the new standard for production: in his case this ment: watches, clocks, and later on emaille dials, and other things.

After his death in 1812 the factory went through his family untill the late 1930's, and ended there, as far it concerned watch/ clocks manufacturing. Get images that make Supersized seem small.
