They meet, the thunderbolt is immediate. In 1965, she convinces the young Remo to follow her to Switzerland. The couple will decide to join the family watch business founded since 1911 and located in region of Bienne. It is at this period a very famous workshop in the assembly of mechanical watches. Consequently, Remo becomes passionate by the watch-making world.
Its inventiveness will not be long to exacerbate him. Since 1973, he develops an activity in Private Label. Several years of experiences, of projects of completes watches developments, will make the Italian lifestyle and the Swiss watch-making meet and will give birth to a brand.
In 1987, Remo decides to create his own company; the House BERTOLUCCI S.A. is founded in Neuchâtel.
Remo draws inspiration from the pebbled beaches of his childhood to design his first creations,
the Pulchra collection, followed by the Vir in 1994 featuring a bracelet evoking these organic shapes. BERTOLUCCI enters the world of high-end luxury watches and surfs the wave of success. Unfortunately, the brand creator has a terrible accident in 1999 that forced him out and then forced the family to sell the company.

With considerable experience in the field, the Group gives Bertolucci the means to create, develop and establish itself back in the luxury world of watches.
