====== Desotos ======
**Desotos** was a watch brand produced by Georges Gay SA of [[Les Bioux]] Switzerland from the 1960s to the 1980s and is the predecessor to [[Claude Meylan]].

The Desotos brand dates to at least [[1967]], and was a producer of [[sports watch]]es. The company claimed to be "the first firm to use assembly line methods in the production of [[chronograph]]s" at that time.

By [[1971]], Desotos was producing ladies watches as well, but the firm appears to have focused on chronographs through the [[quartz crisis]].

The company was purchased by watchmaker [[Claude Meylan]] in [[1988]] and re-launched under his name.
