History of Patek Philippe
The original company was founded in Geneva in 1839 by two Polish watchmakers in exile: Antoine Norbert de Patek (1812-1877) and François Czapek (born April 4, 1811 in the Czech village of Semonice).
Antoine Norbert de Patek flees Poland and arrives in Geneva. As the two partners became more and more opposed, Czapek gave way to the French engineer Jean Adrien Philippe, whom Patek had met in 1844 at the Universal Exhibition in Paris. The engineer invents an easy-to-wind pocket watch with a crown, and it is he who adapts the pantograph to the company's watchmaking needs. 1845 The company Patek, Czapek et Cie is dissolved, Antoine Norbert de Patek, Jean Adrien Philippe and Vincent Gostowski found the company Patek & Cie in Geneva. In 1851, the trio changed the name of the company to Patek, Philippe & Cie. The brand was taken over by the Stern family in 1932 and is still owned by the family today.
Patek Philippe specializes in high quality watches. The company is one of the few to keep all the contact details of its customers since the start of the campaign. It has brought many novelties to the watch industry, such as women's watches and even easy-to-wind watches. Since 1845, she has filed more than 70 patents.
I need a watch winder for my Patek Philippe watch ?

A watch winder is a luxury device that maintains your Patek Philippe without worrying about winding it.
But if you wear your Patek Philippe every day, you don't need to put it in your winder.
