This Louis Cattin seems a relatively unresearched entity. I can find one entry on mikrolisk, and the only eBay items from the period seem to be Cattin-Aubry, which I take is a different Cattin. All schilds, so no help there.

Curious that Louis Cattin shares “CAT” mark with Cattin & Cie, which also owned “Caravelle” as late as 1960. Not sure if that’s a coincidence or a relation & possible shared source with Bulova. I’m waaay out over my skis here. Anyway, look forward to hearing more of what you find.


My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more
