ODO clocks - Clockmaker

Andre and Roger Odobez form the ODO company in the early 1920s and built a factory in Morez in 1936.

Meanwhile Les Fils de F.Romanet (sometimes marked as FFR) built a factory in morbier in 1951 and added to it in 1961. Opened a second unit in Domblans in 1974 but went bankrupt by 1981... This is when the quartz revolution rocked the time-keeping world. The ffr factory was taken over in 1984 by S.A.Productions Romanet which was actually funded by ODO. ODO had already sold the Morez factory to the eyewear company marius morel around '64 and was consolidating operations. By 1990, ODO had transferred everything to the old FFR factory it had purchased earlier.
