About Us

MWC was founded in 1974 by Wolfgang Obrigheimer - although he manufactured a limited number of watches in the mid 60's. Wolfgang continues to be involved with the company and stlll assists with some design concepts and although he is now in his 80s and enjoying his partial retirement his interest in watches remains undiminished.

Our main design office, accounts and contract sales staff are still based in Zürich, Switzerland where the company began and Wolfgang's son Michael plays a leading role in the day to day operation of the company. Over the last 15 years we have established offices, service and distribution facilities in several other countries with manufacturing facilities both in Switzerland and Germany.

From a retail perspective MWC operates in a wide variety of locations worldwide through a network of distributors and retail outlets in 36 locations including the EU, UK, USA, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea and many other countries.

MWC are now one one of the worlds leading suppliers of robust military specification timepieces, not just to individual buyers and the military but also to police forces, anti terrorist units, airlines, mining companies, shipping and salvage companies and a diverse variety of government agencies and departments. Currently we manufacture an extensive range of models which are produced under private label agreements to customers specific design requirements or by tendering for contracts where quality, reliability and durability are of primary importance.

Regardless of whether you are a wholesaler, buyer for a retail chain, retailer of military, outdoor or adventure products or a government representative, please contact us and we can look at the various possibilities to work together.

Please Note: Many of the stores, jewelers and airlines for whom we produce watches take advantage of our extensive range of OEM and Private Label services. As a guide if you wish to offer one of our models with your own brand name or logo we can supply you in quantities of 100/150 pieces and upwards depending on the model.
