Cortébert was a Swiss premium watch brand, manufacturing their own movements, supplying movements to other brands such as Rolex and introducing a jump-hour movement later adopted by IWC.

Louis Juillard opened his small watchmaking store in Cortébert village in Switzerland in 1790. 

Cortébert became well known for their railroad watches: they supplied both the Turkish railroad system and the Italian railroad system, as well as a number of street car systems throughout Europe.

In the late 19th century, Cortébert obtained license for the jump-hour movement designed by Josef Pallweber.
