+**La Joux-Perret** (formerly **Jaquet SA** or **Jaquet-Baume**) is a Swiss movement manufacturer, now owned by [[Citizen]] of [[Japan]].
+===== History =====
+**Jaquet-Baume SA** was founded in [[La Chaux-de-Fonds]] in the 1990s and specialized assembling and finishing [[ebauche]]s from [[ETA]] and the development of advanced [[complication]]s, including [[tourbillon]]s. It evolved from the antique watch and component reselling business of founder [[Jean-Pierre Jaquet]]. The company later supported companies such as [[Hublot]] with the development of watches. During the early 2000s, Jaquet generated sales of about CHF 22 million, with customers including [[Franck Muller]], [[Girard-Perregaux]], [[Sinn]], [[Maurice Lacroix]], [[FP Journe]], [[Eberhard]], and the [[Richemont]] brands.
+The company, named for founder [[Jean-Pierre Jaquet]], was renamed to **La Joux-Perret** following his [[2003]] arrest for counterfeiting and forgery, which was popularly known as "The Jaquet Affair". It was reorganized under **Prothor Holdings** under CEO [[Frédéric Wenger]] along with Eric Loth, Rudolf Bohli, and other investors. Jaquet was bought out of the company secretly between March, 2003 and 2004 for a reported CHF 11 million.
+La Joux-Perret has worked closely with [[Sellita]], with that company supplying [[ebauche]]s and purchasing parts. It also supplies watch manufacturers like [[Armin Strom]], [[Chanel]], [[LVMH Moët-Hennessy Louis Vuitton]] [[TAG Heuer]], [[Financière Richemont]], and [[Hermès|Hermès International]]. Jaquet/LJP was also credited with the development of [[HUB44|Cal. HUB44]] for [[Hublot]] as well as the [[tourbillon]] used by [[Romain Jérôme]] in their Master Tourbillon.
+The former well known movement [[AS 5008]] with [[alarm]] function was reproduced by La Joux-Perret as calibre [[LJP 5800]] (5900) (and is for example used in the Financial District Alarm Watch [[Sinn 6066]] or with the [[Oris Artelier Alarm]]).
+Prothor acquired [[Arnold & Son]] in May, [[2010]] from [[The British Masters]], which was also partly owned by Jean-Pierre Jaquet. The company had previously produced most of the Arnold watches. They immediately began bulking up the lineup of that manufacturer and using it to prove new movement designs that their OEM customers had not wanted to purchase. On March 5, [[2012]] was announced, that Citizen Watch, part of the Citizen Holding, has bought Prothor, including La Joux-Perret and Arnold & Son.((Japaner kaufen Neuenburger Uhrenhersteller La Joux-Perret, [[http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/wirtschaft/agenturen-ticker/Japaner-kaufen-Neuenburger-Uhrenhersteller-La-JouxPerret/story/24764699|tagesanzeiger.ch]], 5.3.2012 )) The transaction was said to be in the amount of CHF 64 million.
+In [[2014]], [[Citizen]] announced a new line of [[Campanola]]-branded automatic watches which are designed and manufactured by La Joux-Perret and assembled in Japan.
+In [[2015]], La Joux-Perret relaunched the watch brand [[Angelus]], which had been lying dormant for more than 30 years.
