+ | ===== History ===== | ||
+ | Progress Watch AG was founded in [[1999]] in Bienne/Biel Switzerland as a subsidiary of Progress Watch Company of Las Vegas, Nevada. In [[2000]], the company purchased a production facility in [[Tramelan]], | ||
+ | |||
+ | By [[2001]] the company gained attention for producing a large volume of affordable [[tourbillon]] movements. Cal. 6361 was a tourbillon that leveraged many [[ETA 2892A2]] components, a situation that caused conflict with [[ETA]]. Internal difficulties and liquidity problems hinder the further production and the company declared bankruptcy later that year. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Progress was purchased by a Dutch group in [[2003]] and renamed **Swiss Time Technology (STT)**. The company diversified and turned their focus away from affordable tourbillons. Progress created a [[hairspring]] factory, Spirit, giving them unique production capabilities. During this time, the tourbillon was further developed and renamed Cal. 13.21, with a longer power reserve and other modifications. STT tourbillons were also used in the [[Antoine Preziuso]] 3volution triple-tourbillon. The company was able to produce these movements in volume for clients like [[Alain Silberstein]], | ||
+ | |||
+ | In [[2006]], STT was purchased by [[Pascal Raffy]], owner of [[Bovet Fleurier]], [[Aubert Complications]], | ||
+ | |||
+ | Progress worked with [[Peter Speake-Marin]] on his work with [[Harry Winston]], supplying components and expertise. The company also developed advanced tourbillons for [[Bovet Fleurier]] and others. It continues to this day as part of [[Dimier 1738]]. | ||
