Some history on the brand:

In 1941 the ‘Jaz Bird’ logo was created. During the German occupation of France in WWII, the Jazz music genre was considerably frowned upon due to carrying pro-American influences. However, attempts to censor the spirit of jazz and its influences were thwarted through the use of images of the the “Jaseur” (waxwing in English) bird, a migratory bird about the size of a starling. The Jaz brand used this bird as its logo to symbolise its defiance, and their success was unstoppable. In 1943, the ten millionth unit was produced, and when France was liberated, JAZ was the number one French clockmaker (source). The waxwing ‘Jaz bird’ emblem is one of the most commonly used brand logos.
