STUNNNG VINTAGE THERMIDOR GOLD WATCH - Day, date, hour and moonphase

The Thermidor or Thermidor S.A. brand was registered for the first time by the Galician José Cascón Molleda in Madrid in 1962.
However, they had been using it for a few years, specifically 1956, which is the year in which they began their activity.

The name refers to the eleventh month of the republican calendar proposed by the French Revolution. Curiously, there was already another record for Thermidor, inscribed by Sandoz and Breitmeyer in 1896 in Le Chaux du Fonds (Switzerland).

Its corporate purpose was always the marketing and distribution of watches, which they did excellently, offering medium-quality timepieces at affordable prices, thus becoming popular among the general public.

Thermidor grew rapidly, becoming the sales leader in Spain, during the period between 1970 and 1985.

It had a huge catalog of more than 1,000 references, and it was not difficult to find someone who wore a Thermidor on his wrist. Even after that date, they were producing more than 1 million pieces per year.

They did not produce calibres, so their watches were made with machinery, both Swiss and French, and later Japanese quartz modules, which were always reliable and of good quality. In addition, they distributed other watch brands (Heur and Leónidas).

They produced everything from wristwatches to pocket watches.

The times of the quartz crisis would arrive, the entry of Spain into the Common Market, and globalization, which would seriously hamper the activity of Thermidor, which would split, thus detaching the Sevillian Relojes Thermidor, currently extinct
