Watch History: Felca Watch S A Grenchen Suisse was owned and operated by Titoni an excellent family owned watch company based in Grechen, Switzerland.
The Swiss family-owned watch company that is known today as “Titoni of Switzerland” was founded by Fritz Schluep as FELCO Watch Co. in 1919.
In 1943 it was renamed FELCA and in 1981, TITONI. They made some truly beautiful looking watches under the Felca brand between the 1940s and 1960s, often shown in outstanding print advertising of that era.
They provided an exclusive order of 30,000 watches to the US Army during WWII. “Quality – Precision – Style” was their slogan; an ad from 1950 shows a watch similar to this one Another ad from 1946 says “The only watch as fine as a Felca is another Felca”.
Titoni remains a family-owned Swiss company to this day.
History on your wrist.
