Hauser Zivy & Cie. was founded by Mr. Hauser and Mr. Zivy, owners of “La Esmeralda”, the most important jewellers in Mexico City during the second half of the 19th century. Besides fine watches the firm was also selling jewellery, musical boxes and works of art. In addition, they were the agents of the silversmith Christofle and the glass manufacturer Baccarat. The building housing “La Esmeralda” at Calle de Francisco I. Madero is still today a historical landmark and considered one of Mexico City’s finest examples for illustrating the influence of European architects at the turn of the 19th century.
