The Maison Leroy was founded in 1785 by Basile-Charles Leroy and quickly acquired a solid reputation by supplying prestigious clients such as the imperial family from 1805 as well as many other crowned heads during the century. His son Charles-Louis took over the company, then his grandson Louis, who renamed it "Leroy & Fils" in 1828, then "L.Leroy & Fils" in 1889. The company is now part of the Festina-Lotus watchmaking group and is its flagship; it is located in Bienne, Switzerland.
