ARCTOS
Watch Winding Specifications

Arctos begun in the year 1923 when Philipp Weber – an ex-manager of Marabu factory from Tamm, and Jakob Aeschbach founded the WEBER & AESCHBACH company with the aim of assembling and wrist watches. The company was based in Pforzheim – famous for its jewelry trade , and had two attic rooms. The only problem was that Pforzheim had no watch assemblers specialists, so Jakob Aeschbach started a training campaign to form specialized future workers. At the end of 1923 when the German currency had stabilized and was once again respected abroad, Philipp
Weber was able to notch up his first successes. WEBER & AESCHBACH became the first Pforzheim-based
company to import and assemble watches using Swiss movements.
