They had a subsidiary company Stauffer & Co (S&Co) in London that distributed watches to the British market. Charles Nicolet took over the company c1879.
Stauffer & Co sourced watches and movements from different sources including the highly regarded International Watch Company (IWC). These watches were stamped with the "S&Co" mark below a crown and also stamped "Peerless".
