MULCO Watches
Founded by Mr. Muller (Muller and Co.), MULCO quickly became a prestigious brand that stood head to head with other Swiss watch companies.
On February 26, 1936, the "marque de fabrique" brand Mulco, based in Bern, was registered for the first time at the "Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property".
The evidence for this can be found in the "Archives de l'horlogerie: marques de fabrique horlogères suisses et internationales" from 1936.
On the occasion of the trade fair in Basel in 1949, the company already presented more than one hundred watch models in its sales catalogue.
In the 50s and 60s, Mulco Watch Factory SA also used FHF, AS, Valjoux and ETA for their model ranges.
The Mulco brand is still registered in Switzerland today and has been part of Watch Design International CA since 2007.
