About Synchron
Synchron was a Swiss holding company under ASUAG, managing Cyma, Doxa, and Ernest Borel from 1968 to 1980.
ASUAG, founded in 1932, was a large holding company for many Swiss watch brands, protecting the industry for decades. In 1966, ASUAG created Chronos Holding to manage new acquisitions, including the recently defunct Cyma-Tavannes brands and a stake in Gruen. Chronos then established Synchron in 1968 to manage Cyma, Doxa, and Ernest Borel.
Throughout the 1970s, Synchron was used in advertisements for these brands. However, the quartz crisis led to the decline of the Swiss watch industry. Cyma was sold to a private investor in 1978 and moved to the Doxa factory in Le Locle. Around 1980, ASUAG sold Synchron and the remaining brands.
