Le "Mikiphone" fabriqué en Suisse est le plus petit gramophone du monde mis sur le marché. Sa taille est comme celle d'une grande montre à gousset ou d'une petite boîte à fromage. Le brevet en avait été déposé à Genève en 1924 par ses inventeurs, les frères hongrois Nicolas et Etienne Vadasz, qui trouvèrent en Paillard & Cie (Sainte-Croix) un partenaire disposé à le produire en série en 1926 et 1927.

The Swiss-made "Mikiphone" the smallest talking machine ever placed on the marked, folded up to the size of a large pocket watch or a small cheese case. As a symbol of the art of watch making from Geneva and the tradition of gramophone manufacturers in the country side region of the Swiss Jura mountains, this gramophone is something like a wonder work. It was in November 1924 as the "Mikiphone" was patented by the Vadász brothers from Geneva. Later, there was signed contracts with the Paillard company from Ste-Croix to produce this talking machine in 1926 and 1927.
