The history of the workshop Genod goes back to the year 1865, when the pipe-pioneer [[Comoy's|Comoy]] founded this factory in the heart of Saint-Claude. He united the workshop with David soon afterwards. In 1923 the house Comoy-David is taken over by '''Georges Vincent''' who continued the production in the style of Comoy-David. From 1939 Vincent worked together with his son in law '''John Craen''', who became responsible for the technical development in the factory. | The history of the workshop Genod goes back to the year 1865, when the pipe-pioneer [[Comoy's|Comoy]] founded this factory in the heart of Saint-Claude.
