Pendant watch Circa 1910. Art Nouveau brooch watch  Pioneers of
time for women  In this age, who can remember that the first
wristwatches in watchmaking history were in fact created for
women? In the 19th century, the Manufacture equipped pendant-
watches, brooch-watches or wristwatches with its calibres, and
embellished them using the finest engravers, enamellers and gem-
setters. These creations offered women a chance to master time
in an era when female pioneers were starting to earn
international recognition. Marie Curie led the way in
researching the phenomenon of radioactivity. Emmy Noether
invented modern algebra. And, unlike Mary Ann Evans and Lucile
Lupin who signed their books under masculine pseudonyms (George
Eliot and George Sand), Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters
asserted themselves as female authors.  Pioneers of time for
