Dear members, and DOXA owners, I am happy to announce the rebirth of JENNY Caribbean watches, the occasion is 50 years since the introduction of the first Jenny Caribbean model.
Brief history of Jenny watches:
The rich history of Jenny watches began 50 years ago in 1963. Gustav Jenny 1889 - 1983 started out manufacturing, assembling and finishing watches and watch components for established Swiss watch brands. in 1963, his son Paul 1918 - 1978 established Jenny & Cie S.A. in Lengnau / Switzerland, and introduced their first line of dive watches, the Jenny Caribbean, which was soon to become the world's first 1000 meter water resistant dive watch, patented in Switzerland under Brev. 5292/68 Triple safe. And the story continues... in 1969 Paul Jenny and his brother Werner apply to patent a Non-Decompression bezel, US Patent no.3,613,354. Within 10 years Jenny watches has set new standards and become a world leader in manufacturing Water resistant dive watches. Jenny & Cie S.A. has provided dive watches, watch design and constructions to watch companies, like Philip Watch®, Dugena®, Milus®, Haste de Luxe®, Perona®, Eisenhardt®, Jaques Monnat®, Jaquet Droz®, Aquadive®, Fortis®, Balzer®, Ollech & Wajs®, and many more. For 3 decades Jenny & Cie S.A. continued to supply many Swiss, German and American watch brands with extremely well engineered watches and watch cases, bearing the Jenny fish logo. Jenny watches prides itself in being among the very few Swiss watch brands that are independent and still family owned, with members of the family who witnessed the early days of Jenny & Cie S.A. still actively contributing to the relaunch in 2012.Brief history of Jenny watches:
