THE HISTORY OF THE OBJECT. Ducretet Thomson's history is steeped in passion and innovation. Eugene Ducretet, with roots in Paris, was a pioneer in the world of Rundfunk. At the beginning of the 20th century, its products crossed borders and found a special place in Switzerland. The brand earned a prestigious reputation, becoming one of the most sought-after in the early days of broadcasting. Enthusiasts still fondly remember their iconic "Piano" shape today. As technology evolved, Ducretet moved from valve equipment to transistor equipment, and in the 1950s he launched himself into the record market, creating the label 'Ducretet Thomson - La voix du Monde'. But beyond the technology, there is a human story. When Eugene became seriously ill, he left the leadership of the family business. It was at that time that Fernand Ducretet and Ernest Roger joined forces, forming "F. Ducretet et E. Roger". Together, they have carried on Eugene's legacy, ensuring that the Ducretet name continues to shine in the world of electronics.
