Wittnauer
Wittnauer is an American watch company, based in New York since 1880, and selling Swiss made watches to the American market (see the history at their home page). From 1957 to about 1960, they also sold cameras under the Wittnauer brand, but they did not manufacture any. Most of them were made in Germany by Braun, while the Wittnauer Festival model was made by Bolsey.
