History

Reguladora was founded in 1892 in Famalicão, by José Gomes Carvalho.

Beginning production with mechanical wall and table clocks, Reguladora expanded its range of products in the 1950s, with column clocks and alarm clocks.

After having been closed, the company was purchased by its employees, returning to production.

Presently, Reguladora produces electronic watches and clocks, both for domestic and industrial application. ^{[2] [3] [4]}
