The Fabrique Juvenia, one of the oldest watch factories, was founded at St. Imier. In 1880, when the workshops had insufficient space, Juvenia moved to its present site at La Chaux-de-Fonds.

In 1907, Juvenia introduced its first wristwatch and started manufacturing its own movements in 1908, but gave up this production in 1925.

In 1920, Juvenia started producing wall clocks, created the automatic wristwatch in 1937 and introduced, in 1938, the famous Mystere line - a fancy transparent watch with a coloured centre on the face crystal - which is still treasured today.

In 1942, Juvenia introduced the first flat movements, thus, the flat pocket watches which were well known and popular worldwide.

Today, Juvenia exclusively produces limited series, using mainly 18k gold or a combination of gold and stainless steel. Several watches are also fitted with gold dials and diamonds with precious stones.
