History: DOXA was founded in 1889 in the heart of one of Switzerland's major and most inventive watch making areas, the canton (district) of Neuchatel's Jura Mountains. The company started as a manufacturer of instrumental panel clocks for racing cars. Georges Ducommum was the founder of Doxa watches. Georges' watches were well known in a relatively short time and he gained a reputation for good quality and reliable timepieces.
Around the turn of the Century Georges gained a wider reputation when several of his watch designs were awarded awards at various exhibitions around the country. Georges continued with innovative designs and in 1908 presented an 8-day movement to a rapturous audience.
In 1910 the name "Doxa" was chosen as a brand name for all of his timepieces. Not content with making just pocket watches, he soon discovered a whole new market for his products, including clocks for the home and automobile and airplane clocks.
Doxa was a widely advertised brand during the years up to the World Wars, and the result was a variety of products including ladies watches and fashion watches, clocks including alarm clocks, and export timepieces.
