About Watchmaker

Gustave Sandoz was a renowned Paris jeweler and watchmaker. Founder Gustave Sandoz first appeared in the French business registers in 1867 as a jeweler and watchmaker. He was appointed an Officier de la Légion d'Honneur and watchmaker to the Royal French Navy while quartered at the Palais Royal and considered himself a student of Abraham-Louis Breguet. Gustave died in 1891 and the business relocated to Rue Royale under his son, Gustave-Roger Sandoz. The enterprise later carried on as Gustave Roger Sandoz Fils & Successeur and they offered timepieces under their own label sourced from the best Swiss manufacturers.
