He previously worked in watchmaking in Fleurier. He registered the brand name BWC in 1905. In 1924 Arthur Charlet took over the company in his birthplace. He was also involved in the company Charlet Bilat & Co. Charlet’s son-in-law Edwin Volkart took over management in 1953, and this is when the company really took off and focused on chronographs. From the beginning, the history of Buttes Watch Co. Was linked to the gold and watch town of Pforzheim in Germany. The first customer in 1924 was Reinhold Reeck. Initially, the focus of production was on pocket watches of all versions of that time for the German market. In addition to Germany, Buttes Watch Co. Opened up other markets in England, Spain, Poland and Hungary. The sales area was later expanded to include the most important European countries including Greece and Turkey. Overseas, the USA, Cuba and Canada were the main markets.
