1949 became a really memorable year for the wrist watch industry: the first German watch cooperative was constituted thanks mainly to the efforts of Philipp Weber.

It was called "PARAT”.

The activities planned and carried out by this cooperative in the years that followed bring to mind a concept that was only imported from America many years later: "marketing”.

Recognizing the need to catch up the PARAT group developed an extensive collection of good quality watches at modest prices.

It offered retail outlets help on decorating and displaying their wares and used radio advertising to channel customers to them.

The slogan "Immer pünktlich früh und spat mit der Armbanduhr PARAT” ("always on time, in the morning or in the afternoon, with wrist watches PARAT") became a catch phrase.
