About us :
The story begins in Ste Croix in the Swiss Jura in 1883, when Hermann Thorens had the company entered in the commercial register. The purpose of the company is the production of music boxes and musical works. The first cylinder phonographs were produced at the beginning of the 20th century, followed a few years later by funnel gramophones, which remained in the range for several decades until they were replaced by turntables. In the meantime, there are also harmonica and lighters from the factory in Ste Croix. In 1928 the first electric motor for gramophones was presented, and a year later a pickup based on the magnet principle. In addition, there are newly developed tonearms, even based on the tangential principle, which were way ahead of their time at the time. In the 1930s, the product portfolio was expanded to include radio receivers and music cabinets, even with built-in record players (“discophones”) through cooperation with the German company Strassfurt-Imperial. At the end of the 1920s, the company had around 1,200 employees.
