In 1995, while still studying, Harald Buben and Christian Zörweg founded the company BUBEN&ZÖRWEG, which initially specialised in the manufacture of luxury watch boxes and watch winders. Inspired by their customers’ passion for the world’s most exceptional watches and driven by the desire to offer the best possible and highest quality solution, both of them succeeded, through years of research and development work with their specialists, in pioneering the field of mechanical wristwatches with automatic winding. In 1998, the company presented the TIME MOVER® technology. An electronic module control system that allows several watches to be wound simultaneously. The world’s first watch winder was born.
Since then the collection increased including a curated range of safes and built-in safe solutions as well as watch winders and of multifunctional presentation objects.
