Jean-Jules Bourguignon (August 29, 1926 in Latinne (Huy)-May 10, 1981) was a Belgian inventor. Having left school at the age of 16, he had a variety of jobs while developing his inventing skills.
He invented about 50 items in the 1960s, some of which are still being used today, like the first perpetual movement watch; the first remote control toy car; the first radio alarm clock and a special camera lens which produced three dimensional pictures and films.
He was featured in the Paris Match Benelux in February 1962 and was awarded a medal in the Salon des Inventeurs of Brussels in the early sixties.
He was married to Simonne Courtoy and they had 2 children, Françoise, an artist, and Yolande.
