A Dictionary of Swiss Watchmakers - Chronopedia.Club

Given the current world situation and being locked in with a lot of spare time I have decided to do something about it. I have for some time wanted to put together a Chronopedia, a wiki for watches which is non-commercial and available to all, and this week have finally done it. It is at chronopedia.club. It is very early days and its going to take years to finish!

I am currently compiling a glossary of terms and brief histories of all watch manufacturers, current and defunct. Here is the page for Switzerland for example:
https://chronopedia.club/Switzerland#Watch_Manufacturers_based_in_Switzerland
and here is the glossary:
https://chronopedia.club/A-Z#GLOSSARY_OF_WATCH_TERMS
Feedback and assistance would be greatly appreciated. If anyone wants to undertake a history or a specific make or model then please feel free to contribute. There are bound to be lots of gaps and errors but if we all pull together we can create a resource for the generations of watch collectors to come. If you want to volunteer to help please email me with a user name you want to use and I will open up an account.

Lovely work! My experience collecting is rather insignificant, therefore I doubt I can make any meaningful contribution, but this should definitely get pinned so everybody can see it. It will be of great use! Especially for newbies like me.

what a brilliant idea, well done mate

📖 great !

For some reason "Glashutte" is there on the list... But otherwise great effort!

...

Glashütte is a German watchmaker... former-DDR

More information is always better than less, but see also -- https://www.watch-wiki.net/index.php?title=Main_Page

We will sign up and contribute pictures and descriptions of some of the more unusual watches we have found in our watch treasure hunting in the tropical south pacific. 😀

Well done
