Arcadia Watches

Arcadia Watches is a Swiss brand of luxury watches 〔("Arcadia Website" ) ''arcadia-watches.com''. Accessed January 07 2012〕 established in 1858. In 1968 the brand ceased following a decline caused by the introduction of quartz movements.〔("Comeback Kid" ). ''International Watch Magazine'', March 2011. Accessed December 31, 2011〕 It was relaunched in 2007 by Claude Sanz, owner and President of Maison Bunter based in Geneva, and the first new Arcadia watch, the AC01, entered the market in 2010.〔
== History ==

The Arcadia brand originated in Fleurier, a small village in Val-de-Travers region of the Canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. Watchmaker Jules-Samuel Jequier was born in 1835 in Fleurier and joined Bovet after training as a jewel-cutter and quickly climbed up the company ladder. In 1858 he founded Arcadia and positioned it as the top-of the-line among the five watchmaking brands of the Fleurier Watch Company, a manufacturer established in 1915. The company specialised in jewel cutting and designing watch calibers and had federated watchmaking farmers into working cooperatively. Fleurier Watch Company supplied movements for over a century to many watch brands.〔

While Arcadia had started off producing movements, this was followed several years later by a watch line. Arcadia was in fact one of the earliest brands to sell its watches around the world, including China and South America, and it was a creative, avant-garde brand 〔 that became the flagship of the Fleurier Watch Company.〔
The brand sold watches until 1968, when, like so many mechanical watch companies, the advent of inexpensive quartz models led to its demise.〔("Watches: Vintage Victory" ). ''Robb Report'', May 2011. Accessed December 31, 2011〕
