The history of Juvenia watches began in 1880, when Jacques Didisheim-Goldschmidt established his workshop in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. He named his new watchmaking company after his wife, Juvenia. Shortly after, he relocated his enterprise to La Chaux-de-Fonds, a well-known center for Swiss watchmaking. In 1914, the luxury watchmaker became one of the first to offer a women's wristwatch. During the decades that followed, Juvenia continued to push new boundaries by introducing timepieces with advanced complications and features, such as the Triple Date watch, with built-in day and moon phase calendars, and the Arithmo. This timepiece could function as a desk clock, wristwatch or pocket watch. Asia Commercial Holdings Ltd. of Hong Kong acquired Juvenia in 1998. Today, the luxury watchmaker continues its tradition of producing reliable, innovative watches, such as its popular Slimatic, an ultralight automatic timepiece with a low-profile movement.
