The Schwob family name is prominent in watchmaking, especially in La Chaux-de-Fonds and Paris. Two Jewish families moved from Alsace to Canton Neuchâtel in the second half of the 19th century, settling in La Chaux-de-Fonds and becoming active in the watch industry. These families invested in watch manufacturing, notably the Tavannes Watch Co, and established global distribution of the products made there. Their businesses merged in 1919, with Schwob Frères emerging as the controlling stake in the Tavannes factory as well as the Cyma brand.
