Kasper Glasses
As with a number of manufacturers in the watch and jewelry town of Pforzheim, the history of Kasper & Co., founded in 1911 by Karl and Christine Kasper, did not begin with watches, but with elastic straps for watches. Karl Kasper died in the First World War in 1916, so his wife Christine took over the management of the company and developed it successfully for decades. In 1980, Kasper & Co. became Kasper GmbH & Co. which was owned by Kasper Beteiligungs GmbH. Movements were probably no longer produced at this time. In 1993, Kasper GmbH & Co. and Kasper Beteiligungs GmbH were liquidated. One of the former shareholders, Peter Wagner, founded Kasper Uhren-Vertrieb-GmbH in 1993, which was dissolved in 1999.
