Armand Nicolet

Armand Nicolet is a Swiss luxury watch brand whose official history begins around 1875 in Tramelan (Bernese Jura), when Armand Nicolet, son of a watchmaker, set up an Atelier d'Horlogerie. After his death in 1939 his son Willy continued the enterprise; later Italian entrepreneur Rolando Braga partnered with the family, and the modern Armand Nicolet brand was relaunched around 2001. The house is known for mechanical collections that often reuse or highlight historical movements (OHM), blending Swiss technical tradition with Italian design influence.
