Hi, Felix. I have a small collection of Mido watches. In Mexico they are highly appreciated and traditional; they are the clocks used by the grandfather or the parents.
Great presentation! I own a mido ocean star M47354511 which is great! I nickamed it as "the white swam" beacuse s comfortable, reliable and great design. even is a swiss quartz mechanism, i like it more cuz i don t like automatic watches so much
I like the brand because they inspired on architecture and their movements r all eta which is very high Swiss quality. I wear every day a c07.211 and it works for me I like to ride motorcycle and take it to the pool I use the bezel like crazy
Thanks for this. I came across a Mido Multifort field watch on an online marketplace and was interested in buying it. It was an old model and the guy wanted too much and it wasn't in good running order. It really ticked the boxes for me and got me interested in this brand. Thanks again.
You’re welcome! Mido is truly an underrated Swiss watch manufacturer that should definitely be on your radar. Stay tuned, the right watch at the right price will come!
Great, informative video, thank you! I inherited a Mido Ocean Star, gold plated, very similar to the one shown in the video. It doesn’t appear to have a quick set for the date and not sure if it winds by spinning the crown downwards, as upwards feels rough like the wrong way.
I own a Mido and I think it quite a nice piece, especially for the price. I think Marvin and Revue Thommen deserve some love too. All great watches that you can actually afford.
Another great video! TBH, I know very little about Mido. Your video (and that stunning dial and case) inspire further research. The car and architectural influences on the vintage watches are just amazing. One note: a name I seem to always hear associated with great vintage watches is “Singer”. We emphasize in-house everything these days, but perhaps that’s not a great thing.
Thanks a bunch Mitch! To improve my english skills- what means „TBH“? 😅 Mido is definitively a brand to watch out for! This unusual dial decoration is insane… Indeed, Singer is a famous Swiss dial manufacturer of the 20th century. Singer’s client list consisted of brands like Rolex, UG, Heuer, Omega, Tudor etc. Interesting to know - it’s the company behind the Rolex Daytona “Paul Newman” dial design. In the 20th century it was completely normal to outsource components. The Swiss watch industry was covered with specialized movement makers, bracelet manufacturers, case makers, dial producers, engravers, enamellers, and other specialties for centuries.
Now I am teaching you very horrible and inappropriate English! TBH is “to be honest”. Its acceptable in casual written conversation. Of course, the problem is “to be honest” suggests the speaker may NOT be honest in other instances. Yikes! I like the idea of specialists for dials, movements and other parts. I understand and respect in-house capabilities (Seiko for example) but perhaps it is a bit over-emphasized. Singer was just amazing, as you explained! Cheers my friend!
Very interesting! I happen to have a Mido Multifort with a very simimilar no date dial. The watch itself is gold plated though, and has rather round shirt lugs. I really like this type of detailed dial!
Unfortunately it has no special reference. Just check this link to our website for all information: goldammer.me/collections/sold/products/mido-dress-14k-jumbo-1960s
Completely agree,but it’s definitely worth it.We bought some cool pieces in the past. Unusuak dial decorations paired with great quality- without breaking the bank :D
I just inherited a 1934 mido today and am excited to do a restoration on it soon. Thanks for all your info.
Congrats and welcome!!

I LOVE your channel!!! So informative, great videography, great content! Thank you for the service that you provide
Thanks so much, glad to hear !!! You won't believe what your feedback means to us!
When i was young i had many Midos. My rich aunt gave me. Today i am vintage or classic. Old.

Absolutely underrated brand, I can only agree with you!
Great content guys. I never thought Mido would achieve such high prices at auctions. Cheers
Much appreciated. Same here 😅

Thanks kindly! We’re glad you enjoyed it 🙏 just visit a trusted watchmaker to clarify if everything is the way it should be!
Cover is also very nice of this mido
Indeed 💯
Only issue I see with the Mido watch you show, is that it has a date window. Just a personal preference.
I have to agree with you. We also prefer clean dials without date windows
I own a Mido and I think it quite a nice piece, especially for the price. I think Marvin and Revue Thommen deserve some love too. All great watches that you can actually afford.
Absolutely! Classy vintage charmed pieces without breaking the bank
Wie immer großartige Recherche, weiter so und besten Dank!!!
Hey Thomas, lieben Dank für die netten Worte. Hab nen schönen Start in die Woche ;)

Thanks for the explanation 🙏 have a great thursday. Cheers!
Great video! I appreciate the knowledge.
Thanks a million!!
Mido has a long and accomplished CV.
Impressive.
Indeed! And a lot of unknown innovations as well.
Cork crown seals were introduced with the original Multifort, fyi.
Thanks for the information

short lugs
I always prefer no date dials - they are just much cleaner. I'm pretty sure I'd like your multifort too :D
Bitte mehr von Mido
Kaufen wir leider nur sehr selten ein. Aber wird bestimmt mal wieder was reinflattern :)
Beautiful Watches, what is the reference number for the golden watch?
Thanks kindly! Which golden watch exactly?
@@GoldammerVintageWatches the one displayed in the opening of your video. Thanks
Unfortunately it has no special reference. Just check this link to our website for all information: goldammer.me/collections/sold/products/mido-dress-14k-jumbo-1960s
But we judge.
Mido huh? not a brand that usually comes to mind, this sure is pretty though
Completely agree,but it’s definitely worth it.We bought some cool pieces in the past. Unusuak dial decorations paired with great quality- without breaking the bank :D
Dude, you need to advertise your channel
Haha thank you so much!
Love the videos! You are missing out > Promo-SM !
Thank you! What do you mean with promo sm?
Mido never made large wristwatches. Why?
Always in woman size.
