Napoleon I was the last man to win the lottery during the French Revolution and is famous as a hero.
He was so busy that he was said to only get three hours of sleep a night, and he was also said to have had a very short temper.

Even he loved pocket watches. As a soldier, Napoleon loved to wear a hunter case pocket watch with a lid.
Napoleon, who said that it was a waste of time to even open the cover of a watch, used a knife to hollow out the cover of his pocket watch so that he could see the time even when the watch was closed, and this is said to be the origin of the Napoleon type.

Aéro was founded in Neuchâtel, Switzerland in 1942 by Maxime Clevaget, who inherited the techniques and traditions of the Clevaget family, a family of first-class watchmakers. Currently, the company is run by his second son, Georges, and is headed by Denis Borzli, a veteran in the field. Aéro is one of the few Swiss manufacturers specializing in luxury pocket watches.

Its distinctive features are the warmth of handcrafting, achieved through the ancient European "hammering techniques" inherited from our predecessors and the excellent "carving techniques" of top-class craftsmen.

In Japan, it has been loved by many people for over 30 years as a masterpiece with a wide variety of variations that can only be achieved by a specialized manufacturer, the precise mechanism that can only be achieved by a handmade manufacturer, and a beautiful form that exudes nostalgia.
