Today we will take stock of the names of these top brands and their history. 1 Patek Philippe Patek Philippe The brand name comes from the founders Antoine Norbert de Patek and Jean-Adrien Philippe, both of whom share a friendly friendship. In the memoirs of the two founders, we learned that the name of Patek Philippe was not so simple. Mr. and Mrs. Patek negotiated the names that had been set for some time. Six years after working closely with Anthony Beida, Adrian Fei Li insisted his name should be added to the company's name. Mr Patey promised to change the name of the company to join Adrianne Philippe's surname Philippe, but weeks passed and nothing happened. At the start of the London Exposition, Mr. Philippe asked his name to appear in the name of the company, at least for the duration of the show, but he was hesitant. Until the company threatened to leave the company, Patek ended its stalemate and agreed to draft a new contract to change the name of the company to Patek, Philippe & Compagnie. Logo unique logo called " Calatrava Cross Star ", the logo is the knight's sword and priest's cross made of stars. According to legend, in 1185, a city called Calatrava was invaded in Spain. The courageous priests and knights cooperated with each other to lead the people to resist and eventually defend their homeland. Mr Patek and Mr Philippe felt that this was a good fit with their tacit cooperation so that since 1875, the Calatrava Crosshair has incorporated the Patek Philippe logo. Around 1880, the company began registering the brand names for the watchmaking workshops, somewhat similar to today's company logos. The brand name originally registered for "Patek Philippe & Compagnie" was submitted in 1882 with an acronym for "PP & C" decorated with a fancy font but abandoned shortly thereafter. On April 27, 1887, the Calatrava Crosshair (pictorial) was registered as the company's brand logo. January 25, 1908, renewed registration and further explanation of the Calatrava Cross (pattern). Three of the six new brand names registered in 1891 are based on the Calatrava Cross (motif). What Patek Philippe did at the time was probably to prevent the Calatrava Crosshair from being used or spoofed by a third party. 2 Auntie Audemars Piguet In 1875, two young talents of watchmakers Qiu Le Louis • • AUDEMAT (Jules Louis Audemars) and Edward • • Auguste Piguet (Edward Auguste Piguet) determination to work together in the development of high-level Swiss watch Ru Valley Resort Watches and clocks, officially founded Audemars Piguet factory, and in December 17, 1881 in Le Brassus set up "Audemars, Piguet & Cie" company.
