I'm retired but if there is some work
to be done I come over and give a hand.
I started 46 years ago.
At every flash, it is a picture that is born inside of this magic box. conceived with incredible precision by a team of technicians that inherited a 150 years old tradition. When I saw the assembly lines I thought I could never work here. Doing a repetitive work all day long was not for me. A high precision camera must roll the film with unfailing regularity. At that time being hired by a big company like this meant life time employment. As long as the company lasted anyways. We had employment security at the time. Here we do not pay attention to how much time is needed. The technician patiently tweaks the springs of the speed regulator, that he mounts, unmounts, and mounts over again, looking for the perfect amount of tension. A true watchmaker's work.
I assembled hundreds of cameras.
We were asked to do things properly. The goal was to satisfy the client as long as we could. Regardless of the saying, quality is not controlled, it is built. The final quality control is pushed to the most extreme limits. Each camera is quality controlled according to draconian guidelines In the small cameras assembly lines were mostly working women.

Commented with voice recordings or complemented with orchestra music.
Devices ranging from the simplest to the most advanced. Designed for the beginners as well as for the advanced users, equipped with refined and efficient improvements. Paillard the camera of the connoisseurs.
