Cominter was a watchmaking organization founded in 1964 and headquartered in Tramelan. Its stated purpose was "Centralization of purchases; organization of work with reassembly chains."

By 1970, most of the Tramelan factories had been merged into a single holding company, Cominter SA. This included Nicolet Watch SA along with Betina, Loyal, P.V. Mathez, and Nitella of Tramelan as well as Droz & Cie of Tavannes and Heba Watch of Alle. The group boasted 700 models at their Basel Fair stand that year. The individual companies continued to operate independently through most of the 1970s, with Nicolet Watch SA in operation through 1977.

Cominter continued in operation at least through 1982.
