Biel-Bienne die Uhrenstadt schlechthin
19-11-2013 20:14:09
Biel-Bienne am Jurasüdfuss gelegen ist die Stadt wo die Markenuhren Rolex, Omega hergestellt werden und auch der Sitz der Swatchgruppe beheimatet. Nach dem 2. Weltkrieg war aber auch ein Fahrradkontrukteur welcher auf sich aufmerksam machte. Carlo WOLF. Cycles WOLF wurde ein Begriff, da Carlo Wolf vielen Belgiern Verträge für die Tour de Romandie und Tour de Suisse anbot. Rik van Steenbergen, Lucien Acou, Désiré Keteleer, Prosper Depredomme oder Julius Hemelryckx. Aber auch Luxemburger fanden bei WOLF Arbeit und natürlich die Schweizer Leo und Gottfried Weilenmann, Hans Hausmann, Hans Schütz u.v.a.
Die Belgier zahlte Carlo Wolf oft mit Uhren. Diese wurden in die Collé's eingenäht und Rik van Steenbergen verkaufte diese Uhren in Belgien zu "guten" Preisen und die Belgier waren gerne bereit für Cycles WOLF in der Schweiz zu fahren.
Vive le velo !
