  • The chaps at Maurice de Mauriac are true watch enthusiasts and run a unique shop with completely the opposite atmosphere to Bahnhofstrasse. Also probably the largest selection of straps ever.

  • I'm a pilot with a small collection of finely made Swiss watches. I've been to Zurich many times, but have only recently discovered the wonderful works on offer at the lovely Maurice de Mauriac...

  • We enjoyed our time in Zurich for our watch making . Challenging and intricate craft with expertise of Til( mechanical engineer student) with the watch making! Massimo one of the owner and the the co-founder Daniel were very personable. Giving tips of what Zurich offers. The story how the company started, the humility of the family. Taking time to show us around then driving us back to our hotel is icing on the cake! The quality, price, value and friendliness holds so true with the mission of Maurice De Mauriac Zurich! We will highly recommend to our family and friends! I am enjoying the new watch I have and will be using it every day!
  • Do you like treasure hunting and great stories? Well, then this is the place for you. The Dreifuss family are collectors of treasures and have some wonderfully stories to tell. Most importantly, they make sure that your future watch will be a treasured piece that tells YOUR story, customised according to your wishes. Their watches are inspired by timeless classic styles such as the Bauhaus movement but they are also not afraid to change it up and create bold statements with something to say. And if you feel like you need a change but are not quite ready for a new watch, they have an amazing collection of hand-selected watchstraps sourced from all over the world to choose from. Mind you, you may struggle to make a choice: there is so much to see in their magical atelier that grabs your attention and there are so many different straps to choose from. Thankfully, the vibe of the atelier is very much that of entering a private space as a friend, with a cup of coffee and everything. Massimo and Leo don't only sell you time, so to speak, but are generous with theirs. I look forward to my next visit!
  • It is very difficult to write this reviewI don’t have the words to articulate how wonderful a time we had… (Ha Ha see the play on time and this being a review for a watch manufacture class?). A five star rating does not do this experience justice, the shop is lovely and eclectic in a very homey comfortable way, like when you go over to a friends house… comfortable, welcoming, unpretentious but classy, sophisticated, energetic… you must go to see and feel it. The Dreifuss family, Daniel, Leonard, Massimo are probably the coolest trio on the planet, and we could not have spent enough time hanging out with them. If you are in Zurich this is an absolute must do! Yes, I did buy a watch… not only a very cool watch that looks amazing but an awesome story to go with it and if I dare say some new friends we are very fond of!
  • I received my L2 Bronze Deep Blue today and just excitingly opened it. The watch is stunning. I feel like it is too good to wear, and that I am wearing a watch that just jumped off your website onto my wrist. I guess it did in a way, travelling across the world via four countries to Melbourne, Australia in 5 days. Quite remarkable and I am sure something your father could never have imagined, even in 1997. I will wear the watch with pride, appreciation for your design and build quality and value being welcomed into the Maurice de Mauriac family.
  • Nobody blends elegance, sport, and ingenuity in their timepieces like Maurice de Mauriac. As an independent business, they go against the grain with unique, creative watches that are both luxurious and fun to wear. Look no further than their chrono modern line, racing line, and Limited Edition L3 Sees Red as proof. And as a family-owned business, you can speak directly with the owners in choosing and customizing your watch. They’ll answer all your questions and are responsive every step every of the way. Try getting that service from Richemont, LVMH, or Swatch Group! Check out their gorgeous catalogue, whether you’re a watch collector or first time buyer. Or better yet, reach out to them!
