In 1883, a Winterthur watchmaker by the name of Gottilieb Hauser brainstormed
the idea for the Swiss Watchmakers Corporation
(Schweizerische-Uherenmacher-Genossenschaft) as a distributor of standardized
Swiss watch components. Once the word got out, other watchmakers rushed to join
this organization with the guarantee that it would boost their productivity and
output. Eventually SUG, as it was later dubbed, evolved to the point that it was
not only distributing parts, but creating then as well.
Some of the most recognized accomplishments in watch making occurred during the
mid to late 19th century. These included the development of precision accurate
escapements and the utilization of interchangeable watch parts. By the time we
had reached the 1880¿s, many European watch companies had integrated
standardized parts into their common routine. However, demand greatly outweighed
the resources and manpower that these companies had. Therefore, corporations
like SUG were created to directly distribute watch parts from one company to
another, saving them a great deal of time and money.
Now in the dawn of a whole new century, the initiative of our forefathers has
resurfaced. Derived from the influence of the Swiss Watchmakers Corporation and
watchmakers who supported it is the determination to continually advance many
aspects of contemporary watch making. These ostentatious watches from SUG
symbolize the eternal persistence that humanity has to test the limits of our
imagination.
Join us as we remember yesterday and reach towards tomorrow.

say that is a good movement...
