THE BIRTH OF A FAMILY HERITAGE
The story begins in Lyon in 1830 with Eugène Coquais, a jeweler, who opened his first jewelry store. A few years later, one of these daughters married Charles Augis, a watchmaker, who joined the family adventure by taking charge of the point of sale. But it was above all their son, Alphonse Augis, a true businessman, who took charge of the destiny of the House in 1894, even leaving it his name.
