Wittnauer was an American watch company, based in New York. The Wittnauer brand was created in 1880 by Albert Wittnauer. In 1890 the A. Wittnauer Company was established. The company sold Swiss made watches to the American market. In 2001 Wittnauer was bought by Bulova. [1]
In 1957, Wittnauer announced a line of 14 cameras with lenses and accessories. These included the CineTiwn, a combination 8mm movie camera and projector, as well as many still cameras with Wittnauer branding. Most of them were manufactured in Germany by Braun, while the Wittnauer Festival model was made by Bolsey. Wittnauer sold cameras until about 1963.
