MECHAQUARTZ WATCHES

The story of our Mechaquartz line finds its inspirations from François Borgel (later Taubert), who was one of the greatest case makers of the past. He patented the first waterproof screw-down case back with gasket in 1931 and supplied many of today's iconic watch cases with desirable details such as the engraved "tasti tondi" pushers that we can find on many watches from the 40's-50's. For the record, the apartment in which Furlan Marri began his Kickstarter campaign was a stone's throw from François Borgel's workshop at 10, rue des Pêcheries in Geneva, Switzerland.
