About Tissot and Moeris
The Moeris watch company was founded in 1893 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, by Fritza Moeri and Julius Frederic Jeanneret. The company sold high volumes of watches, producing over 10 million by 1957. Although they were a well-respected brand, the company was still fairly obscure, and not as well-known as many of its more popular watch manufactory contemporaries such as Tissot.
Moeris became part of Rayville by 1974, and during this period the company switched their production focus towards creating historical replica pocket watches. They continued in this vein for the next decade, and the Moeris brand can still be found on many pocket watches with historic designs. In 1980, ownership of Moeris passed to Tissot, and the company was relocated to Le Locle with Tissot. However, it appears to have ceased production after 1985.
