Racine Swiss Made Watch Necklace.
Racine Swiss Made Watch Necklace.
The Racine family, based in the Jura, was a well-known family of artisans. For many centuries they were involved in arts and craftsmanship. In 1708 David Racine (1669-1726?) was mentioned as an 'expert maître horloger', famous for his nice clocks. His prosperous business enabled him to buy a large piece of land in 1729 in Montagne de Tramelan-Dessus, Switzerland. In 1725 his brother Pierre (±1665-1728) was allowed by the Basel Court to carry the title 'engineer-architect'. Other members of the Racine family were active in the watch industry, too.
