A key partnership for Mauron Musy's US expansion

Mauron Musy partners with FundTime LLC to accelerate U.S. growth through strategic investment and exclusive distribution agreement.

wiss independent watchmaker Mauron Musy announces a strategic partnership with FundTime LLC. The U.S.‑based investment firm has taken an equity position in Mauron Musy and will serve as the exclusive distributor for the American market.

Mauron Musy’s unique nO-Ring® gasket-free water-resistance technology reflects the brand’s founding drive to pursue innovative solutions on its own terms. With FundTime’s investment and exclusive U.S. distribution partnership, that same forward-looking approach now extends to the brand’s growth strategy and move to reach an even wider community of American watch collectors and connoisseurs.

“At Mauron Musy, challenging industry conventions is part of our DNA,” said Christophe Musy, Co‑Founder and CEO. “Our no‑gasket innovation represents a human spirit that refuses to accept limits. Partnering with FundTime allows us to bring that spirit to life for new collectors and audiences in the United States. Their passion for independent watchmaking and relationship‑driven approach make them the ideal partner for our next chapter.”

Lior Arussy, Founder and Managing Partner of FundTime LLC, added, “FundTime seeks independent brands whose authenticity and technical ingenuity set new benchmarks. Mauron Musy stood out from many opportunities because it embodies both Swiss precision and visionary courage. We’re honored to help this remarkable brand reach the appreciation it deserves among U.S. collectors.”

The patented nO Ring® technology replaces polymer gaskets with 36 high precision components, ensuring water resistance to 300 meters and eliminating the maintenance linked to aging materials. Entirely developed in house, the case is a true dressing complication and a world exclusive. Its form emerges directly from function, and has become the defining signature of Mauron Musy. This is not a technical detail. This is Mauron Musy’s reason for being.

“How could a mechanical watch, built, as everyone likes to say, to outlast generations, depend on a rubber gasket, a material that inevitably degrades over time? This was not a detail. It was a flaw in the logic. As an engineer, I had to fix it.” – Christophe Musy

Mauron Musy watches are not labeled “Swiss Made” but “Swiss Crafted.” This certification guarantees that 100 % of each component of the watch is designed, developed, and manufactured in Switzerland. No value threshold is involved, as all expertise and production originate from the Swiss watchmaking industry, within a 60km radius of the manufacture.
