Before Fame
He was employed by a Swiss watchmaking company in the city of La Chaux-de-Fonds early in his life.

He later operated his successful watchmaking businesses out of his adopted hometown, Geneva, Switzerland, and was a native of Kulmbach, Bavaria. Alfred Davis, his wife's brother, co-owned a London-based watch imports firm before settling in Geneva.
