Biography
PAUL DITISHEIM (1868-1945) Started his own manufacture at CHAUXDE-
FONDS in 1892, specializing in very high precision watches and
jeweled watches. Success in both spheres followed rapidly, and he
won many honors. He collaborated with DR. CH. E. GUILLAUME in the
use of both the GUILLAUME “integral” balance and the elinvar-type of
auto-compensating balance spring. He also contributed many papers to
scientific and horological journals.
