As for its products, CONSUL has always been in the vanguard of Swiss watch-making.
F. Huguenin recognised the potential of bracelet watches very early on, at a time when more than 95% of all watches were pocket watches. So he was among the pioneers who concentrated on improving ways to miniaturise components to be able to make more elegant watches, with smaller proportions and yet still retaining their high precision.
CONSUL also developed and improved techniques for increasing shock-resistance as well as for protecting the movement against dust and humidity.

CONSUL figures among the brands, which gave Swiss mechanical watches their reputation for being robust, perfectly executed and reliable. In this way its products were soon to be rewarded for their precision with numerous distinctions and certificates issued by the observatories of Neuchâtel and Le locle. |
Its capacity for technical innovation was confirmed by its large number of inventions, many of which were patented, such as its revolutionary dust-proofing system.
In the 50s it was its famous chronograph, the CONSUL 30mm, which attracted the most attention for its precision, and sturdiness (shock-proof, dust-proof and anti-magnetic).
