Lucerne Pocket Watch

This brand emerged in response to the quartz crisis. As consumers began preferring economically priced automatic watches, a consortium of Swiss watchmakers began providing components to a workshop that then assembled timepieces and sold them under the Lucerne brand as a way for luxury makers based in Switzerland to compete in the quartz market. There is also a watchmaker called Lucerne Watch Company. Launched in 1997, the company produces economically priced, Swiss-made watches.
