Audemars Frères – founded by Hector and Charles-Henri Audemars. Watches by this company are prized by collectors and are of very good quality. This enterprise achieved some success and appeared to have a bright future until a Russian distributor “forgot” to pay a bill of Frs 150,000 and they were forced to close in 1909.
