Born in La Chaux-de-Fonds in the Le Locle Valley, Jacques Gevril began his career in the mid-1700’s as a restorer of timepieces. In 1743, he created his first Chronometer and in 1744 his first Repetition Dial. Most notably, Gevril became the first exporter of Swiss Timepieces when he was called upon by His Majesty the King of Spain in 1758 to produce a personal timepiece. Gevril set out for Madrid on a historic journey to present his masterpiece, impressing the King who was so astounded by Gevril’s talent that he appointed him Royal Swiss Watchmaker to the Spanish Crown.
