Simonet Lathes
Simonet are a small machine
tool manufacturer based in Soleure Switzerland. Like most of
the firms featured in this archive Simonet were established as
a result of the 20th century burgeoning of the Swiss watch industry
centred around Bienne in the Swiss Jura. Simonet produced a 4"
plain lathe suitable for horological work and also a superb 4"
screw-cutting lathe. They also made automatic and semi-automatic
production machines which are not featured in this archive. The
lathes featured here are very similar to those produced by other
Swiss makers and feature the same high build quality. Complete
machines, parts and accessories are still available today.
