Brand heritage

Mido was founded in 1918 in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, by Georges Schaeren; the name comes from the Spanish "Yo mido", meaning "I measure". In 1954 Mido introduced its efficient Powerwind self-winding system, and in 1959 it launched the Ocean Star, whose single-piece case, loaded through the front, removed the joint between case and caseback to keep water out.
