Paul Ditisheim (Solvil, Titus)
Possibly a genius - already wit 13 years he visited the Horological School of La Chaux de Fonds, where he received the Diploma of Honour. He worked for several well known companies, at last for the one of his father (Fabrique Vulcain, Ditisheim Freres), before founding his own company in 1892. There are much more records about won observatory competitions than e.g. for Rolex. The more remarkable, as many competitions were won for complete series. So there were not only single extraordinary samples but simply an average highest grade of quality. Moreover Ditisheim was author for lots of horological literature.
