====== Josmar ======
**Josmar Watch SA** was a Swiss watch company founded in [[1917]] under the name **J. Kocher & Schluep** and later **Kocher Frères & Co**. It was acquired by [[Zeno]] in the 1970s.

===== History =====
J. Kocher & Schluep was founded in [[Bettlach]] in [[1917]]. The company produced [[Swiss lever watch]]es exclusively until [[1937]] when the firm re-focused on lower-priced [[Roskopf watch]]es. By this time the firm was operating as Kocher Frères & Co but sold watches under the name, **Josmar**. The firm was reorganized in [[1945]] under the leadership of Hans Bader and Hans Kocher as **Josmar Watch Ltd**.

Throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, the firm sold mass-market Roskopf watches under the Josmar brand. The company was eventually acquired by [[Zeno|Zeno Watch]].
