Parat:
The Parat slogan (rime) was: "Immer pünktlich, früh und spat,
mit der Armbanduhr Parat."
(a translation would be: Always on time, early (in the morning) or late (in the evening) with a Parat wrist watch).

I could find out the Arctos Uhrenfabrik Philipp Weber, Berg Uhrenfabrik, Wilhelm Beutter,
Osco Uhrenfabrik, Otto Schlund (brand was currently re-launched)
and Stowa joined this co-op.
When wholesalers got into economical troubles and decided to sell the PARAT-collection
to greater department stores the cooperation lost a lot of money and disappeared from the market.
The movement is Rare caliber
