about the product

We design our timepieces in London, the financial, fashion and music capital of the world. London is continually recognised as one of the most cosmopolitan and culturally diverse cities in the world. The buzz and atmosphere that such diversity brings, is what makes London a fantastic place to create innovative ideas.

Wolf Suisse was founded in Switzerland in 1996, and today, the Wolf Group consists of three companies: Manufacture Wolf, based in Biel, Switzerland, Wolf Asia in Hong Kong, and Wolf Sino in Guangdong Province, China. Wolf Asia manages the technical development of our designs, while Wolf Sino manages the manufacturing of our stainless steel cases, bracelets, clasps, and pin buckles. All components manufactured in their Chinese plant are certified in accordance with Swiss standards of the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry and are classified as Grade A quality. The factory holds ISO 9001 certification, maintains its own on-site quality control, and undergoes regular ethical and technical assessments by independent auditors. The automatic movements are made in Switzerland by Sellita, and the dials, hands, and sapphire crystals are crafted in Hong Kong by reputable manufacturers who also serve major Swiss brands. All components produced in Asia by third parties adhere to the same stringent quality control standards as those of Wolf Suisse Switzerland.

Grade A is a superior classification for manufacturing standards. Components designated as Grade A are considered to be of higher quality compared to those with lower grades, and they are expected to function reliably over an extended period. Each Möels timepiece is classified as Grade A, reflecting the highest level of precision, attention to detail, and manufacturing standards upheld by our manufacturers.

Our timepieces are carefully assembled, regulated and tested at Ronda Time Center in Stabio, Canton Ticino, Switzerland.

We don't handle the steel sourcing directly, this is handled by Wolf Suisse, our trusted Swiss partner. They manage the procurement from various suppliers. For their factory in the Guangdong Province, they source from Baowu Group, the world's largest steel producer. For their Swiss production facility in Biel, they partner with ArcelorMittal and Voestalpine Group to fulfill their steel requirements.

Repurposed steel refers to steel that has been recycled and processed for reuse. After our case manufacturer finishes the case and bracelet production, the leftovers are returned to the steel manufacturer to recycle them and turn into new steel. This sustainable practice provides an eco-friendly alternative to newly mined steel, helping to reduce energy consumption and the demand for raw materials, thereby minimising the environmental impact associated with steel production.

Unfortunately, the absence of official definitions and clarifications has given rise to the misconception that surgical steel and stainless steel are the same — they're not. While surgical steel is a type of stainless steel, not all stainless steels qualify as surgical steels. Surgical steels are the ones with the highest level of corrosion resistance, and they are specifically designated for medical applications. In comparison to other types of steel, surgical steel is the most expensive due to its exceptional resistance to corrosion and staining which are crucial properties for materials in contact with the skin. Our cases, crowns, screws, mesh bands and bracelets are made of 316L (1.4404) surgical grade stainless steel.

For us good design has no gender. We are a gender-inclusive brand, we do not split our designs into men’s and women’s, our designs are unisex, meant for him, for her and for those who do not identify as being of a particular gender. We do not use gender-specific wordings to name our timepieces either, we use numbers instead. Even if some terms are used in the male form, they apply to men, women and diverse in the same way.

We named our first design after the 528 Hz Solfeggio frequency, also known as the love frequency, which is thought to resonate at the core of everything; including the sun, pyramids, circles, squares, rainbows and even snowflakes. This frequency is the most significant of the Solfeggio Frequencies, it has a deep-rooted relationship with nature and appears in many songs, most famously John Lennon's Imagine was composed in 528 Hz.

We named our second design after Nikola Tesla's fascination with the numbers 3, 6, and 9, which he believed held the key to understanding the mysteries of the universe. Although there isn't concrete evidence to support it, Tesla had an obsession with these three numbers and incorporated them into his personal beliefs and work. By naming our design after Tesla's fascination with these numbers, we pay homage to his creative mind and quest for innovation.

No, our timpieces rely on a perpetual rotor, converting energy from your wrist's motion to power the movement. When not worn, fully wound they store energy for approximately 38 hours. To get the movement going again, gently wind the crown 20-25 times clockwise avoiding excessive force, stop when you feel resistance.

Our timepieces are powered by a high quality automatic Swiss movement from Sellita, the SW200-1 which is seamlessly interchangeable with ETA 2824-2 offering exceptional reliability and ease of maintenance. The SW200-1 movement is widely used in the watch industry, numerous luxury watch brands have recognised the prowess of the Sellita base movements, including Hublot, TAG Heuer, IWC, Baume & Mercier, Oris, Raymond Weil, Sinn and Glycine. These reputable brands prioritise quality and they would never choose a movement that doesn't meet their high standards, potentially tarnishing their reputation.

Absolutely. The SW200-1 movement is recognized by watch repair professionals all over the world and it can be easily serviced and repaired. Sellita's continued success as a movement manufacturer guarantees a steady supply of spare parts for the long term. Rest assured your Möels 528 will keep ticking reliably for many years to come and service costs will be reasonably low.

Premium Swiss movements deserve nothing less than premium movement holders. That's why we exclusively use metal, crafted from machined brass or aluminium, and then nickel-plated for enhanced durability and resistance against wear and corrosion.

Operating without batteries, their all-metal movements are serviceable and repairable, often lasting for many decades with proper maintenance. In contrast to quartz watches or smartwatches, which may not last more than a few years, mechanical watches often appreciate in value over time. Although the initial cost of a mechanical watch may be higher compared to quartz and smartwatches, this expense balances out over the long term, making mechanical watches a wise investment.

There is a common myth in the watch community that in-house movements are better than off-the-shelf mass-produced movements. While it is true that in-house movements offer certain advantages, such as greater control over the production process, unique features, and finishings, it is not accurate to say that in-house movements are better than off-the-shelf movements. Off-the-shelf movements are very reliable, as they have undergone thorough testing and continuous improvement over time. They are more affordable and typically offer a wider range of available parts, making maintenance and repairs easier, more cost-effective, and convenient. In-house movements, due to their complexity, can only be serviced by the manufacturer, incurring high maintenance and servicing costs. In contrast, off-the-shelf movements can be repaired globally by skilled technicians at a fraction of the cost. At Möels & Co., we believe that off-the-shelf movements offer a balanced combination of quality, reliability and affordability, allowing us to provide high-quality timepieces at more accessible prices.

Our dials undergo a meticulous process to achieve their stunning appearance. Crafted from aluminium, they first undergo anodisation to prevent oxidation. Following this, they are satin brushed, hand-painted, and coated with a layer of clear lacquer for added protection. The skeletonised hands are diamond-cut to precision, the numerals and indices are carefully applied, and the logo is pad printed. We offer various options for numerals, hands, and indices, including luminous, rhodium plating in yellow gold, silver, black, and tempered blue. Another feature of our dials is the use of metallic shimmers creating an effect that is highly attractive when the light hits the dial directly.

Rhodium plating is a process commonly used in the jewellery and watchmaking industries. It involves applying a thin layer of rhodium, a rare and precious metal from the platinum group, onto the surface of another metal, enhancing the appearance by giving it a shiny finish and protecting it from tarnishing and scratches.

Metallic shimmer refers to a reflective, sparkling effect seen on a surface, typically metallic in nature. It occurs when light is reflected off tiny metallic particles or layers, creating a shiny, glittering appearance. This effect adds a metallic lustre varying with the surface angle to the source of light.

LumeBlocks are solid blocks of luminescent material used to create luminous markers on watch dials. These markers are charged with light and then emit a glow in low-light conditions, allowing the wearer to read the time even in darkness. LumeBlocks are often made from materials such as Luminova, Super-LumiNova, or Tritium. They are crafted entirely from luminous pigment, enabling their after-glow to last much longer compared to applied lume.

We exclusively use sapphire crystal, a high-grade component mostly used in luxury timepieces due to its high resistance to scratches. Besides its hardness, sapphire crystal also offers superior transparency and clarity, giving the watch face a very sharp look from any angle. On the inner side of our crystals, six layers of anti-reflective coating is applied, reducing significantly reflections and glare.

Anti-reflective coating (AR) is a type of coating applied to watch glass that reduces the amount of reflected light from the surface of the glass. This special coating can greatly improve the visibility of the dial and hands by minimizing glare and reflections. The benefits of an anti-reflective coating include improved legibility in bright light, and reduced eye strain from different angles. AR coating can also enhance the appearance of the watch, giving the glass a more high-end, luxurious look. Applying AR coating on the inner side offers superior effectiveness compared to coating the outer surface, which is more prone to damage.

Yes, our timepieces are designed to withstand pressures ranging from 100 metres (328ft) to 200 metres (660ft). However, the water resistance rating applies to dry atmospheric pressure tests, not below sea level. When the screw-down crown is securely locked in position, surface swimming, snorkelling, showers, and exposure to rain are acceptable. However, diving, playing sports, or subjecting the watch to abnormal impact, water pressure, extreme heat and moisture are not advisable because they may compromise the seals and gaskets. If your Möels ever comes into contact with seawater, fine sand or dust, it should be promptly cleaned with fresh water and rinsed.

A screw-down crown is a special feature which aids in water resistance. This type of threaded winding crown screws tightly into the case and protects the movement from any form of dust, moisture and water. The crown has gaskets which create an airtight seal when it is screwed in. An additional benefit of the screw-down crown is that it acts like a safeguard and protects the movement from accidental knocks. The date ring was removed by Sellita, thus eliminating the dreaded “ghost date” position on the crown.

If the screw-down crown is not screwed back in place, water, moisture, and dust can penetrate the case, causing rust to develop on the mechanism's components and potentially leading to malfunctions. If this occurs, do not attempt to address the issue yourself. Instead, take your Möels directly to a local watch repair shop for professional assistance.

The 528 model is packaged in a premium Ostrich-embossed leather pouch from Heisse & Söhne, while the 369 model is delivered in a high-quality leather watch roll. Both come inside recyclable rigid cardboard boxes, along with full documentation and accessories. They are shipped in recyclable padded mailer envelopes for added protection. It's recommended to store the pouches in a dry place and keep all documents, as they contribute to the value of your Möels should you ever decide to sell it.

Yes, we do maintain a spare parts inventory. Gaskets degrade over time, dial colours may fade, and crystals may accidentally crack. Replacement is possible thanks to our 10-year guaranteed spare parts inventory, ensuring that your Möels premium timepiece has a long lifespan.

Yes, there is absolutely no difference in quality between the timepieces sold in our online boutique and those sold at our Outlet with a discounted price. You can expect the same high quality in both.

No, our customers do not pay more for an award-winning design compared to a regular watch. Design awards are a bonus that provides an independent validation of its design qualities and help increase the watch's resale value and appeal to collectors. An award-winning watch represents a mark of distinction, bringing pride to both the brand and our customers.

Every Möels timepiece is fully guaranteed to be in perfect working order and they are covered by a 3-year international limited warranty from the date of delivery. This warranty covers manufacturing and mechanical defects exclusively. Please note that it does not extend to malfunctions or wear and tear arising from accidents, misuse, negligence, alterations, modifications, or any services or repairs performed by non-certified watch technicians.

Absolutely, the warranty is fully transferable. It stays with the watch, covering any subsequent owners, ensuring they receive the same protection. We want all our wearers, whether they purchased directly from us or not, to be happy with our timepieces.

At Möels & Co., we take pride in offering exceptional value for money. Our timepieces transcend their price point, offering a taste of elegance and sophistication that's usually associated with luxury. When you wear a Möels, you're not just wearing a lookalike; you're wearing something unique that has been thoughtfully designed from the ground up. Many generic mass-produced watches can cost significantly more, yet they do not match the same level of originality, award-winning design, and excellent after-sales services that define our brand.

Absolutely, but there’s plenty more to love about them than there is to criticise. If anyone has suggestions on how we can improve our designs, we welcome them, as we are committed to listening to our audience. If the suggestions are feasible, we will certainly incorporate them.

Yes, we have plans for further developments. Currently, our focus is on enhancing the finishing of the 528 model and introducing new dials. Similarly, for the 369 model, we are planning to offer new dials soon and, hopefully next year, a small second variant. Looking ahead, we aim to launch entirely new models.
