Paillard was located in Yverdon, Switzerland.
The reknowned Swiss craftsmanship is evident in this 1938 Paillard 3-band radio.
The model 39 is beautifully designed with chrome bars and a blue enameled metal cabinet.

Paillard was a Swiss company founded by Moise Paillard in 1814.
They began making music boxes and in 1898 they started producing
their first cylinder gramaphones, the Echophone.
Then, in 1904 began building disc gramaphones.
Through the years, they also made radios, clockwork motors,
Hermes typewriters and the well-made Bolex cameras to name a few.
Their popular "Hermes Baby" typewriter was engineered by Giuseppe Preziosa and was used by Hemmingway and Steinbeck.
In 1963 Paillard merged with Thorens to produce phonographs,
but the merger only lasted 3 years.
