PAILLARD 645 (1936) BLUETOOTH SPEAKER

THE HISTORY OF THIS PIECE. Several watch manufacturers came together under M. Paillard at Ste Croix in 1814 to form an export organization and built a first factory building in 1875. In 1919 the company was transformed into a joint stock company and had nine buildings in Ste Croix and Yverdon, starting from 1947 the company became Paillard S.A. Until 1860, the company produced musical boxes in addition to watch components and in the 1860s - 1880s also musical machines. In 1897/8 the production of "talking machines" with wax rollers was introduced, in 1904 the technology was converted to playing records. In 1913 the first electric gramophone motors were developed, with their technical development the Paillard - alternating current - gramophone motor became a popular export item. Typewriters were also developed under the Hermes name starting from 1913/4, of which the "Hermès 2000" and from 1935 the "Hermès-Baby" became famous. From 1927 Paillard built gramophone amplifiers, and in 1932 the Beu was also recorded on radios. From 1930 Paillard built Film cameras and projectors which dominated the market for many years, the division was sold to Eumig (A) in 1969/74. In 1962 Paillard took over the turntable manufacturer Thorens. Paillard soon became one of the most successful Swiss manufacturers of radio sets and also of radio-/phono combinations. At the beginning of the 1950s, with the advent of FM reception, Paillard could no longer keep up with technical evolution. Paillard was acquired by Olivetti in 1981, the company became extinct in 1989.
