Fernand Roblin

Fernand Roblin was a French professor and businessman who became technical director of the Tavannes Watch Co and Cyma in the 1930s.

Fernand Roblin was born about 1891 in France. He served as a soldier during World War I and was captured and interned in Switzerland from 1914 to 1918. After the war he settled in Tavannes, working for the Tavannes Watch Co.

In March of 1930, Roblin was added to the board of directors of Cyma Watch Co under chairman Isaac Schwob and vice-chairman Théodore Schwob. By January 1931, Roblin was listed as technical director of the Tavannes Watch company in his professional biography.

In August 1933, following the removal of Henri Sandoz-Mamie's management authority, Roblin was given power of attorney at Tavannes Watch Co, with collective signature with William Egger. This also followed the death of Nephtali Woog and Anatole Schwob.

From 1936 through 1938, Roblin was president of the Prévôté section of the Société Jurassienne d'Émulation.

Later in life, Roblin lived in Colmar, where he continued to speak and travel throughout the Jura region. He loved Goumois, where he would come to fish, and was laid to rest there following his death in 1957.
