Mauboussin is a jewelry company based in France .[1][2] It was originally established in 1827 in Paris, specifically on Rue Grenata, where it focused on producing jewelry. In 1903, M.B. Noury, who was the nephew of Georges Maubossin, became the owner of the company. Georges Maubossin had served as the company's director since 1877. In 1923, Noury was succeeded by Maubossin himself, and the company's name was changed to Maubossin. As part of the company's expansion, Maubossin purchased two adjacent houses located at the intersection of Rue Saint-Augustin, Rue de Choiseul, and Rue Monsigny in Paris. The address of these houses was 3 Rue de Choiseul.[3]
Maubossin opened branches in New York, Buenos Aires, and Rio de Janeiro. The company gained popularity for its exceptional collection of precious materials and skilled craftsmanship. The company's estimated sales (in 2010/2011) were €60 million in total sales and €10 million in watches.[4]
