These bright and shiny lights come to you courtesy of the Bethpage Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce was delighted to have been able to purchase new holiday decorations for the town. Our new lights were installed the weekend after Thanksgiving and just this past week the Chamber added some twinkling snowflakes along Benkert and Broadway as well. In addition to the new lights the Chamber strings evergreen roping along the town as well as around our light poles. This year the Chamber also purchased a gorgeous manger scene, which is being displayed in the window of Totally Fit ( Thank you all so much!) until a protective case can be made for it to prevent vandalism. These additions and all of the lighting are quite an expensive proposition, however the Chamber believes that the town should look festive and bright for the holidays. This is turn will help businesses during the season as well as make all of the residents of Bethpage proud of how their town looks. On December 11, 2005 Bethpage's Annual Lighting Ceremony took place and attracted a very impressive crowd as well as representatives from all of our local places of worship and community organizations. The evening began with the melodious voices of the St. Paul's Lutheran Junior Choir and included comments by Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto, Legislator Edward Mangano and Councilwoman Mary McCaffrey. All A crazy bunch of elves took center stage at this year's Chamber of Commerce Holiday Lighting celebration. From the looks of these happy little guys and gals it seems they are '" Totally Fit!" wished everyone a happy and healthy holiday season as well as congratulated the Chamber on hosting this event every year. Councilman Joe Muscarella and Anthony Macagnione also greeted the crowd and wished everyone a wonderful holiday season. Rabbi Seth Gordon, Pastor Sal Bennardo, Father John Tizio and St. Paul's Church Elder Steve Simon all addressed the crowd and reminded everyone as to the significance of the entire community coming together for this special celebration, as well as wished everyone a happy and joyous holiday. The lights on our stately and impressive Menorah were lit and in no time the countdown began and Bethpage's gorgeous Christmas tree was lit. The crowd broke into thunderous applause and it truly felt like the spirit of the season had arrived in Bethpage. Children in attendance were amazed as Santa himself made his grand entrance via the Bethpage Fire Department and that jolly ol' guy gave out candy canes and greeted all the kiddies. Children also were able to take a ride around town in the Chamber's horse drawn carriage ride. The Chamber wishes to thank everyone who volunteered his or her time and effort in setting up and coordinating this event. They also want to thank all the members of the clergy as well as local officials for taking the time out to attend this event. The Chamber of Commerce takes great pride in this community and also in the relationship that local businesses share with residents. It is that relationship that makes Bethpage such a special and wonderful place during the holidays and most importantly all year long.

D.) is offering suggestions that will help protect your home and your family from intruders. Senator Hannon said, " One of the more terrifying and potentially dangerous crimes that can occur to a family is the home invasion robbery. Please take every precaution necessary to safeguard your loved ones." Recommended precautions are as follows: Hold a family meeting to discuss home security plans; Make sure all access areas such as doors and windows having working locks ( All doors leading outside should have dead- bolts locks); Move and secure items that can be used to enter your home ( tables, ladders, tools etc.); Keep valuables in a safety deposit box at the bank ( If not possible, keep valuables locked in a reasonable hiding place); Mark valuable items for identification; Keep security alarms activated whenever possible; and Keep a telephone near the bed. When out of the house, leave interior lights on or use a timer to turn lights on and off. Also, leave a radio or TV on to indicate someone is home. At night: Close drapes, blinds, window treatments; Keep all entrances and garages well- lit; and Leave outdoor lighting on. Never open a door to strangers without credentials; and Do not leave a key over a door or under a mat. In addition, apartment dwellers are advised: Never rely on a chain-latch as a barrier to partially open the door; and Never admit anyone to the building who is there to see another tenant or to deliver something to another apartment. Anyone asking admission to do work for another tenant should be referred to the building manager. Furthermore, contact police if you see someone in the building who looks out of place or is acting-suspiciously. If you are confronted by a burglar/ robber: Remain calm and comply with instructions; Mentally outline a detailed description of the burglar/ robber; and At first opportunity, call 911. Senator Hannon said, " Remember, criminals generally look for opportunities that require the least effort and offer low risk and high gain. These tips will help make your home a less desirable target for home invasion." For more information, visit Senator Hannon's website at www. kemphannon. com.

We were both chit chatting about how we were dreading taking down our Christmas trees from the attic. So many branches, so many bags, so much work! Every year we try to make putting up our tree an event. We put in the old Christmas CD, pour some eggnog and decorate. This year it seemed like we all just couldn 7 get it together. Every one of us had something to do or somewhere to be on almost every night of the week. So we sort of pieced things together little by little. I dragged down the tree and Ed put the lights up. We took the ornaments out and vowed to put them on one night during the week together. I am impatient, however, and that one night during the week was not coming soon enough. For almost a week I stared at my naked tree until one morning I couldn 7 take it. I dropped my children off at school and when I opened my front door there it was-- naked and calling out to me for help. I thought I would actually be doing everyone a favor and so I put on the Christmas music and set out to decorate the tree by myself ( I skipped the egg nag, I was alone and it is much too fattening anyway!) As I took each ornament out of the box, one by one, I began to realize what this Christmas tree was all about. It wasn ' tjust any tree that we traditionally decorate. It wasn ' tjust a chore. It was our story, ornament by ornament unfolding right in front of my eyes. That's right the story of our lives and our family being told with every ornament hung on that tree. Our first Christmas together, Baby's First Christmas, our vacations from all over and the mittens Ed's grandmother knit. It was a pretzel wreath from Sal's kindergarten class and a gingerbread man made when Alex was in preschool. I rifled through Disney ornaments from just about every movie we watched as my boys were growing up and found the special glass ornaments from my mom ' s tree. I hung a Snoopy ornament given to me by a special teacher and a heart ornament that Ed gave me when we were dating. There were ornaments from grandparents, godparents, aunts and uncles and even some from the White House. We had a # 7 brother, a World's Best Dad, a We Love You, Mom and an ornament for one very overweight daschund. I even hung up two ornaments I painted when I was a kid and as I held those ornaments in my hand, I could almost smell my grandmother's meatballs cooking as I was painting it on the table in the basement. Every ornament told a story and I remember where each and every one ofthost ornaments came from and most importantly what they all meant. The chore of lugging down this huge tree with a hundred pieces from the attic had now turned into a true stroll down memory lane. You see, I realized that this tree represents so much more than just glitter, lights and ribbons. This artificial tree, believe it or not has grown. It has grown with my family and has grown to tell the story of our lives as a family. It represents things that are cherished and memories that are unforgettable. It represents the time that has gone by and each ornament is a unique and special reminder of all of those < N times. Many of these ornaments have jaded. Some are chipped and are ^ even missing pieces, yet the memories have not jaded a bit and the TI sentiments of each ornament could never be broken. The job I dreaded JO E turned into a job I loved. After I finished decorating our tree I sat back o for a while and just stared at it. I was amazed. You see, our tree may ^ not be able to rival the beauty and splendor of those in many \ u department stores, but to me it is the most beautiful tree in the world. § It is not just any Christmas tree it is my family tree and it may not be £ perfect but either are we. LU That afternoon I picked up my kids from school and we drove home. g I thought for sure that they wouldn 7 even notice that I had put the 11 ornaments on the tree. I opened the front door and before either of LcUo them could put down their backpacks they began to groan. Believe it or not they were angry that I didn 7 wait. They told me they love to put the ornaments on the tree and that it is always such a fun thing to do. UJ Boy was I happy. They were mad and I was glad because I knew that uj x ( O Letters to the Editor Dear Linda, I find it very difficult to write to you about this problem that exists in our town, but anyhow here it is. After living in Bethpage for the last thirty seven years, each year I made it a point to try and bring some joy to our holiday season by spending a couple of days decorating the outside of our home for the delight of our neighbors, friends and visitors. Many of the decorations we had since day one, and would not be able to replace them. It was sad to come home last weekend to find that someone had trashed our beautiful decorations; a giant Santa had been ripped apart, some decorations were stolen and others were destroyed. I understand now that other homes in our area experienced the same problem. I guess the time has come to just decorate inside our home, and no longer outside. What a shame. This surely has put a damper on the holidays. Thank you Linda, Merry Christmas, and a Blessed New Year to you and your family, Bill and Joyce Quigley Dear Bill and Joyce, I was so upset after reading your letter. It is unbelievable that anyone could take pleasure in destroying someone else's property, especially at this time of year. I can't imagine how heartbroken you must be to lose decorations that liave been part of your tradition for so many years. The Chamber of Commerce had a similar experience several years ago when our manger scene, which was displayed under the Christmas tree in town, was stolen. The first year someone took Mary and Joseph and last year the baby Jesus was destroyed. This year we purchased a gorgeous manger but, are quite honestly, too afraid to display in the center of town until we can construct some sort of showcase to protect it. Holiday decorations are such an important part of the season and it is disheartening to think that many folks will discontinue displaying their decorations for fear of having them stolen or destroyed. I am a firm believer in not letting the vandals win so don't give up. My advice is to contact the eighth precinct and report the vandalism that you and your neighbors have experienced. Perhaps they can beef up security for a while to deter the vandals. In the meantime try not to let this damper your holiday spirit. The true meaning of the season is what lies inside your home anyway. Have a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2006. Thank you for taking the time to write in, Linda A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE BETHPAGE FIRE DEPARTMENT They say it's never too late to say " thank you," so even though it's been over a year since the 1st time you were called to the aid of my husband, John ( Jack) McKeon, in July ' 04,1 would like to say it now and to let you know how very much my family and myself appreciate the quick and personal attention you gave to him then, because you see, you actually gave him 1 more year on earth by seeing to it that he got the medical attention he needed at the time. Very recently, on Nov. 11th you were called again to his aid by a wonderful neighbor and even though God chose to take him even before you reached him, the gratitude and compassion you showed toward both of us that day will stay forever in my memory. I want to thank you all so very much for all your efforts to save my husband and for all the good you do for the people of Bethpage and vicinity. We've lived here for 35 yrs. and I don't know what we would do without your dedication. Bless you! Judy McKeon o< they realized just how special this tree is and what it means to us as a Dear Judy, I am so sorry about your loss. It is never easy. I couldn't agree more with your praise of the Bethpage Fire Department. If anyone has ever needed to call the BFD in a rescue situation they certainly know how wonderful, dedicated and compassionate they are. In a critical situation they are quick thinkers and when every minute counts they respond professionally and respectfully. I have said before that when a loved one passes away it is difficult to go on. Missing someone so much is so hard. My solace has always been in truly believing that loved ones are never ever gone and that the love we have for them lives on no matter what. While your husband may not be with you in person, I believe he is always at your side, loving you and protecting you. Please try to have a wonderful holiday and may you enjoy health and happiness in 2006. Thank you for taking the time to write in. Linda family. That night instead of decorating the tree we all spent some time together looking at each of the ornaments and laughing and talking about what each one meant or what each one reminded us of I think that I have already received the best Christmas gift I could ever ask for. And while I have vowed to never decorate the tree alone again, I am really glad that I did because I learned so much about what that tree really means. I think my family already knew! Veterans Enjoy Spaghetti Dinner Dottie Rabas is presented with an award for Exceptional Service through the years. New Island Hospital Provides 250 Flu Shots to Community left to right: Student Interns Zuhal Arzomand, Framingdale High School and Deborah Osa , Seaford High School Gail Brown surveys the field. Archie McCord American Legion Auxiliary Unit # 86 hosted a spaghetti dinner for a group of veterans from the V. A. Hospital in Northport on November 5. The men arrived by bus early in the afternoon and were treated to a delicious home- cooked meal that included penne, meatballs, sausage, bread, appetizer and dessert. Big band sounds and jazz played while the men ate and chatted with the Auxiliary ladies. After dinner, the real fun began with horseracing! Everyone cheered, whooped and hollered for their favorite horse as they neared the finish line, with help from the ladies. Auxiliary member Claudia Poppe kept the action going, as President Nancy Carter handed out prizes to the winners. The day was enjoyed by everyone - the men and their attendants had a wonderful time and can't wait to come back, and the ladies got a chance to get to know these men, of all ages, and hear stories about their lives. The ladies were also touched that something as simple as brewed coffee could brighten a person's day so much. Thanks go out to Legislator Ed Mangano and Councilwoman Mary McCaffery who came to lend support, and Wal- Mart who provided items for the goody bags, including candies, knit caps, soap and razors. The American Legion Auxiliary is the largest patriotic women's service organization in the world, with nearly 1 million members. Archie McCord Unit # 86 meetings are held at 7: 30 p. m. every third Thursday of the month, except December, at the American Legion Hall, 10 Washington Avenue, Bethpage. Celebrate Freedom! On November 23, 2005 New Island Hospital in conjunction with Nassau County University Medical Center and the Department of Health provided 250 local residents with flu and pneumonia immunizations. Influenza, or flu, is an acute respiratory infection caused by a variety of influenza viruses. Viruses that cause flu spread primarily from person to person, especially by coughing and sneezing ( via airborne droplets of respiratory fluids). Flu viruses can enter the body through the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, or mouth. After a person has been infected with the virus, symptoms usually appear within 2 to 4 days. The infection is considered contagious for another 3 to 4 days after symptoms appear. Flu is usually signaled by headache, chills, and dry cough, which is followed rapidly by body aches and fever. Typically, the fever starts declining on the second or third day of the illness. It is then that the upper respiratory symptoms become noticeable — nasal congestion and sore throat. Pneumonia is a general term for a lung infection that can make it difficult for you to breathe. In most people it is easily treated at home and does not cause permanent lung damage. However, in adults older than 65, infants, and people who have other diseases, especially lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD), it can be serious and may need to be treated in the hospital. Bacterial pneumonia is pneumonia caused by bacteria. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of bacterial pneumonia. You should get the pneumococcal vaccine if you: Are over age 65 Have a chronic illness, such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes, heart disease, or lung disease Have HIV or AIDS Have a weak immune system from another cause, such as from certain kidney diseases and some cancers, or have had your spleen removed. Are taking medicines, such as prednisone that weaken the immune system Viral pneumonia is pneumonia caused by a virus. About half of all people with pneumonia have viral pneumonia. Viral pneumonia is usually less serious than bacterial pneumonia and can take from 2 to 4 weeks to recover. We didn't buy a new location... we earned it.

Upon arrival the Scouts wasted no time in setting up their campsite. They quickly became pros at using the wheelbarrows to haul their gear to the tent area. While they unpacked, the leaders got the fires going to make hot chocolate. It was cloudy and bitter cold, and that hot chocolate hit the spot. Some of the Scouts made birdhouses from milk cartons, while others " chilled" in their tents. After a delicious lunch of hot soup and sandwiches, the Scouts began the afternoon activities. These included a tour of the camp, a hike to the beach, a scavenger hunt, games and crafts. Many of the activities were organized and run by Cadette Troop # 3543. The Scouts also completed various activities towards their Outdoor Camping badge. Of course, no camping weekend would ever be complete without s'mores and songs around the campfire. The day- trippers headed back home after a terrific day, while Troop # 3530 braved the extremely cold weather, and spent the night. Never let it be said that Girl Scouts don't have a spirit of adventure. anctuar^ ::'. S>> V NEED A GIFT FOR THE HOLIDAYS??

S " When is the best time of year to sell my home?" This is one of those questions I hear all the time. A Smart Realtor, ( like me!) will always say, " NOW!" and list your home! It's a common misconception to think that homes are only sold during the Spring and Summer. I guess that kind of thinking assumes realtors go into hibernation when the cold weather comes. While it is true that many homes are marketed and sold during the warmer months, I work all year round. I would love to find a warm quiet place to hide and sleep for the winter, ( did I mention I have 3 children?) but I don't. I have sold homes over Thanksgiving and on Super Bowl Sunday. We have had closings on both Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Many people would be surprised to learn how many closings take place the last week of the year. Like having a child at the end of December, ( done that!), closing before the new year can have tax advantages. Certainly, homes look lovely in Spring and Summer. The lawns and landscaping are all attractive. That beautiful back yard and deck show to advantage. The pools are open. The curb appeal is very apparent. Many homes do sell during the warmer weather. There are buyers who will only close in the summer so they can more easily transition their children's schooling. But there is something very warm and welcoming about entering a warm home on a chilly day. That kind of cold weather cooking, ( stews, soups, and baking) adds an inviting aroma to your home as buyers come in. For those sellers who decorate for the holidays, that too, can make a house seem much more like a home. Buyers might picture their own tree in that spot in the living room. I remember that when we moved into our home, that was the topic of debate among my brothers. While the quantity of buyers decreases somewhat at this time of year, the seriousness of them increases. For most buyers, house hunting at any time of year can be stressful. ( Unless you have a great agent, like me!) Trying to shop for a new home at the same time you are trying to finish all that holiday shopping can be too much for the casual house hunter. This is why the buyers who are out there now are serious. They are frequently people who have been shopping for a while. As an agent, I have helped educate them to the local marketplace. These are buyers who really need to buy a house. Sometimes they are being transferred, or the landlord where they are renting is making a change. There are engaged couples who would like to have the house a few months before the wedding so they can do the work. Just as there are so many reasons to sell, there are that many motivations for buyers. When is the best time to sell your home? Any time of year. In a busy office like mine, we have those buyers all year round. So if you are considering selling your home, don't feel you have to wait. Call, because Real Estate is my profession, and I work all year! May If our Holidays Be Joyous!

No, not the Grinch created by Dr. Seuss, I am referring to those Grinches who are out to ruin Christmas and the spirit of the holidays for the rest of us. Who are they? Retailers and advertisers are always at the top of the list with their unrelenting hype of anything from the latest " must have" toy to that luxury item that promises to bring happiness and joy to the lucky recipient. ( We all know better, don't we?) How about those midnight store openings right after Thanksgiving? People trampling each other as they run for the bargains. Next it's those Grinches who object to one or more of the Christmas/ holiday traditions... extending a greeting that does not include the words " Merry Christmas;" public displays of the creche or menorah; singing Christmas carols in school; excluding the mention of the birth of Jesus as the genesis of Christmas celebrations. When it comes to advertisements, Citicorp tops my list. How do children react when they see Vikings smashing a Christmas tree and shooting down the reindeer. Last night, I saw Citicorp's second seasonal ad. In it, a crazed looking Santa arrives in an office riding in a sleigh drawn by dogs. The dog-drawn sleigh then knocks over the Christmas tree. There is a better way- Christmas 2005 - Bethpage Style On Sunday, December 11, 2005, Bethpage had several Christmas celebrations that were in keeping with the finest traditions of the season. They were inclusive, bringing together people of different religions and beliefs to celebrate family, faith and community. The day started with the brave souls who slipped and slid on the Bethpage High School football field in the annual Bretton's Deli Charity Football game. This year marked the event's 18th anniversary. The money goes to the Bethpage Community Foundation and is used to help needy families in Bethpage at Christmas and throughout the year. The Bethpage Fire Department held its. annual children's Christmas party. A terrific event for the kids whose dads are called from family dinners, birthday parties, and other events to honor their commitment as volunteers in the Bethpage Fire Department. At 6: 00 PM, residents gathered on Broadway to witness the lighting of the menorah and Christmas tree and for the town's newest display - the creche which is currently secured in the front window of the Health and Fitness Center. Carols were sung; prayers offered; the event was a combination of the religious and the secular and - to my knowledge - no one objected. Even the Beth page- based Who Cares Motorcycle Club was on their annual Christmas mission - distributing toys and gifts to needy families throughout Nassau County. And so, because I live in a community that respects all holiday celebrations, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas - a Happy Hanukah - Peace and Goodwill to All. r i i M HINTING MAILING SERVING LONG ISLAND'S LEADING NUW& PAPER PUIMJUW, Q< S FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS • QUALITY OITSET PRINTING • GRAPHIC DESIGN • MAILING & LIST MAINTENANCE • NEWSPAPER PRINTING & PUBLISHING • TRADE PUBLICATIONS • POLITICAL PRINTING & MAILING • 6OUVENIR/ L) INNER JOURNALS A Full Service Union, Graphic Communications and Printing Company 529 BuoAclw/ Ay, BnlipACji, NY I I 7 M - 5 7M • 5 16.68 1.0440 • TAX 5 1 6.68 1- 9554 • N!

Central Blvd. Students Learn 1 About Veterans The first graders at Central Boulevard School have been learning; a lot about veterans. Each student was asked to bring in red, white, and blue paper stars listing the people in their families who have served in the armed forces of the United States. Veterans were listed for the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, and National Guard. A Wall of Honor displayed all the stars. We found that most of the veterans served in the Army. i l i i i i l l i i i l i i i fiiiiiiiiisi The children also did special projects to honor the veterans. One class made special hats in honor of Veteran's Day. Some children made American flags and yellow ribbons to display on their homes. We learned about some soldiers who are serving now and made extra yellow ribbons to show that we. are hoping for their safe return. Subject lo availability and qualifications.

The two highest money raisers this year were Anne DiPrima from J. F. K. and Nanette Girolamo from Central Boulevard. Every donation counts and is very much appreciated in this war against breast cancer. Pictured here is the team of walkers as they met to begin the 5 mile walk.

The LI Regional Poison and Drug Information Center at Winthrop Offers Tips for a Safe and Healthy Winter Season Mineola, NY - The Long Island Regional Poison and Drug Information Center at Winthrop- University Hospital offers the following tips to help safeguard you and your family during the winter season when cold and flu viruses are more common and fuel- burning appliances are used more often: Medication Safety: • Read labels carefully before giving or taking medications. • Do not take medicine in front of children, because children like to imitate adults. • Do not take medicine that belongs to someone else, even if you have the same symptoms. • Lock all medicines, including vitamins, away from children. • Use child- resistant lids and replace them tightly. • Never call medicine " candy." • Be aware that some cold/ flu medicines can increase blood pressure and heart rate, and cause drowsiness. • If you take medication for high blood pressure, consult your doctor before taking any cold/ flu medication. Carbon Monoxide Safety: • Install at least one carbon monoxide detector near the sleeping areas in your home. • Make sure that all fuel burning appliances are in good working condition and have proper outside venting. • Make sure your chimney flue is not clogged. • Never use gas range, gas oven, and gas or oil space heater to heat your home. • Never use charcoal grill indoors. • Never leave an automobile engine running in an enclosed garage. Please contact the Long Island Regional Poison and Drug Information Center at ( 800) 222- 1222 or ( 516) 663- 2650 for poisoning emergencies and poison-related information.

As he watched his wife and family put the final touches on the tree and fill the bottom with gifts he reflected on the peace, happiness and tranquility of the night. He went to his window and watched the soft snow cover everything and make it look pure and peaceful as well. He saw some homes decorated for Christmas and others with the Chanukah Menorah displayed in the window. He then saw an odd sight, two soldiers in full gear standing out in the cold. He went out and invited them into his home to warm up and join in the evening meal his family had prepared. They thanked him but refused the invitation because they were on duty. A little confused he asked why. They said that like their Great Grandfathers who defended our great nation in WWI, their Grandfathers who did the same in WWII, Uncles in Korea and their Fathers in Viet Nam it was now their turn. They explained that protecting the rights and freedoms of all Americans always is a soldiers duty, wherever needed. They then asked him a question. Why have we fought for freedom of tyranny and religion in all these other places around the world and it is not, by some peoples views, proper to wish our Christian friends a Merry Christmas and our Jewish friends a Happy Chanukah? The man thought for a moment. Realizing the truth to what they said he turned to reply but they were gone. This time to Iraq and other areas in the Middle East to again protect us here at home. The man then went to all the homes on his block and offered a " Politically Incorrect" Merry Christmas or Happy Chanukah and asked each friend in their own way to include our brave Soldiers around the world protecting us in their prayers.

Title | Letter from Dr W.R. Blore M.C. RAMC |
Notes | This is an extract from a photocopy of a letter from Dr W.R. Blore M.C. RAMC sent on 14th October 1915, from Suvla Bay, Gallipoli. It includes a sketch of Blore's dug-out which he had photographed, the film must still be awaiting development - as it was not developed until Blore and his comrades were evacuated in December 1915/January 1916. His family believe that Blore was the last RAMC doctor to leave Suvla Bay during that evacuation. This letter describes the chair which was actually shipped over from England in his luggage. Also described in the letter is his 'washing', which is probably the Kapoc sleeping bag hanging on the bushes. He describes the waterproof cover and the location and direction of the ditches designed to keep his dug-out dry. Also part of this collection are all Blore's letters home, his notebooks from his service as a doctor at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli, and on the Western Front - as well as his sleeping bag and many other artefacts. |

Invicta was founded in 1837 in La Chaux-de-fonds, Switzerland by Raphael Picard, who had the radical notion that fine Swiss timepieces could be offered at modest prices. For more than a century, the assiduous little company created manual and automatic winding timepieces of exceptional design and construction. Like many Swiss names of its day, the brand all but disappeared during the quartz invasion of the early �70s. In 1991, descendants of the Invicta family re-established the brand holding firm to the company�s founding principle. Privately owned and operated, Invicta has been better able to ensure the absolute highest standard in each watch produced. Active throughout every step of production, this hands-on approach is a predominately intrinsic aspect of the impressive current success of the brand. With consistent enduring strides in invention, craftsmanship, and inspiration, the Invicta Watch Group has evolved into the fastest growing watch company in the business and has sparked a movement that is turning the balance of power in the watch industry.
