• Vincenti & Cie: Founded by Jean Vincenti (died 1833), a Corsican inventor and watchmaker who established his workshop in Montbéliard. He developed new production methods for watch shell movements (Blancs d'horlogerie). The company posthumously won the silver medal (Médaille d'Argent) at the Paris Industrial Exhibition in 1834 for the mechanical precision of its works
• P. Delemasson: establishment and watchmaker based in Paris in the 19th century.
