First let me begin with the fantastic customer service. I couldn't travel across the ocean to go visit the their workshop and Atelier (It will be on my to do list for sure). Leonard responded quickly to all my inquiries and he provided very beneficial advices. Leonard was very professional and friendly. I felt very confident throughout the process of purchasing my dream watch. Now lets talk about the watch. WOW. Amazing work. You can tell that every single details is meticulously thought, everything is perfectly balance. The mechanical movement is flawless. I really love that each watch has its own story. The Red Sapphire Crystal is truly giving a soul to the watch. I’m sincerely happy and grateful to be part of the MDM family. I can only recommend without any hesitation to anyone that desire an awesome friendly and professional customer service that will accompany you during your adventure of finding your dream watch. Thank you very much Maurice De Mauriac. Jonathan

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.

Daniel (Maurice) and his team are passionate about their craft and equally proud of their loyal clientele, who appreciate the dedication and ethos of the company. This thriving family business was principally created from the founder’s love of watches, creating a sound foundation for what has since become a successful international operation. Nothing is too much trouble, and I always look forward to catching up with Daniel and his team whenever opportunities permit.

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 boutique shop in the heart of the city. If you are a watch lover who enjoys high style and craftsmanship and a truly unique and personalized shopping experience... be sure to visit Daniel and his friends at MdM during your next visit to Zurich! I plan to do exactly this on my next visit! Thanks Daniel... and see you soon! ~ Rich from DC

This shop is just fantastic: when I came in, you directly understand that you dive in something special. This is nothing compared to the other luxus shop on the Bahnhofstrasse. MdM dives you into what is a watch atelier, not a shop actually. Daniel (the owner or founder, can't remember) have a story for each of the watches that makes them special. Sorry if that looks to be a creasy testimonial, but I simply became a fan of this brand.

I met him a few years ago and I have learned a lot about watches, now with his workshop where they teach you how to make a watch, you can travel to Switzerland and return home with a watch that you know all about, now you are part of the process, you can learn how is done. In three hours I could put all the pieces on the watch and know what each one does. it is a unique experience and I want to repeat it. Also he can make a really good expreso. I highly recomended the visit.

As a Maurice de Mauriac watch owner I infrequently pop by in the Zurich store. Quite frankly always a pleasure to be welcomed by Daniel Dreifuss including a casual chat and being informed about the latest developments in designs. He's a unique character and my next watch will one day be a Maurce de Mauriac.

MdM is not about watches, but about an attitude to life. This already becomes clear when you enter the business: not a cool showroom as with the global brands, but a working space in which passion is lived. No overpaid influencers, but customers who simply love his product. Great Swiss quality, cosmopolitan mood.

As a watch lover Zurich gives you heaven on earth. All the big houses have their stores at Bahnhofstrasse. But there is on shop that every watch lover visiting Zurich should see, Maurice de Mauriac! Find out what high quality watches made in Zurich look like!

I visited Daniel’s atelier with a friend who wanted to get a watch about two months ago and it one of the most interesting experiences I had in a long time. As well as the stunning watches, his expertise, attention to detail and kindness made this more than a luxury retail experience. This atelier is beautiful space where you can see art, learn about watchmaking and have fascinating conversations. My friend got an exquisite customized piece and I’m looking forward to get mine! Super recommended and cool place even if you are not thinking on getting a watch.

I always liked watches and coming to Switzerland is my fetish come true. I can have my authentic Swiss watch. Bought in Switzerland. Made by Swiss watchmakers. Stop me. I go crazy. I did not come by chance to Maurice de Mauriac. All those who know about watchmaking recommend it. What i didn't know was that in the end I was going to acquire much more than a watch (well, 2). Now I have on my wrist a Maurice from Mauriac's' L1, designed by Fabian Schwaerzler. Elegant, subtly manly, minimalist, powerful. A watch with the perfect androgyny, I feel Annie Hall. And in my bag I have an L2, which I plan to give to my boyfriend. Red Passion. Obviously I have to give it to my punctual love. I am happy with my purchase, but also with the unexpected bonus. I am a writer, I love traveling and knowing places, people. Daniel Dreifuss, Maurice Mauriac's owner in Zurich, is the best possible host. His warmth is legendary. I had had an advance when I met Leo, his son, in Paris last summer. What a great personality. But the father…had me at hello. As we have known each other for a long time. Then I understood that Maurice de Mauriac is not only about to watch. MdM is a piece of living history. I was ready to be a client and I became an intimate friend. Going to the Tödistrasse street atelier is, above all, a great experience. The talk, feeling that time no longer exists, everything to the rhythm of ticking.

I met the Dreifusses few months ago, while being on a short stay in Zurich. I got the "watch bug" few years ago, while searching for a birthday gift for my brother, so being in Zurich, I looked up for a local watchmaker in hope for a chance to see the watchmaking process from up close. I was happy to found "Maurice de Mauriac" atelier (a brand I knew from articles I've read about and about its founder, Daniel Dreifuss). As I was short on time, I decided to try my luck and go there without knowing if the atelier was open to the public. I was lucky. I was welcomed in to descover a beautiful place and wonderful people, spending over an hour there with Daniel and Leo, seeing their creations from up close and getting a sense of the work process of their unique independent family owned brand. Also I didn't have the opportunity to do a workshop, I was happy to learn that they do have watchmaking workshops for people like me, watch enthusiastics who would love to learn more about "what makes the watch tick" (perhaps next time). I left with a huge smile.

A truly unique and fun watch space. Great work. Inspiring entrepreneurs! The watches are an eyecatcher and i never received as many compliments for a watch like for my MdM
