== History == Founded in 1906, Pic-Pic originated as the automotive branch of the Geneva engineering firm Ateliers Piccard-Pictet & Cie. The vehicles were designed by Léon Dufour and gained an early reputation for precision engineering, often being referred to as the "Rolls-Royce of Switzerland." In 1913, the Geneva icon Pic-Pic, with 332 units, was the best-selling car of the year in Switzerland. In 1917, 428 vehicles of the Pic-Pic brand were registered in Switzerland.
