OLLECH & WAJS Watches in Zurich.
Swiss Tool Watches with Character.

The story of the Swiss watch brand Ollech & Wajs began in 1956 in Zurich. Albert Wajs and Joseph Ollech initially established a boutique specialising in quality watches, gaining valuable experience through the distribution of renowned watch brands. This expertise laid the foundation for developing their own timepieces and launching OWZ – Ollech & Wajs Zürich. From the very beginning, the brand has been defined by its independence, functionality, and commitment to producing robust Swiss watches built for real-world use.

​

Ollech & Wajs creates watches that stand out not only for their distinctive design but, above all, for their technical substance and everyday reliability. Modern manufacturing methods, premium materials, and precise Swiss mechanical movements form the foundation of durable, dependable timepieces. Every design is created at the headquarters of Ollech & Wajs Precision AG in Zurich, while final assembly and fine regulation are carried out with meticulous care in Haute-Sorne, in the Swiss Jura.

​

Clean lines, purposeful design, and a deliberate focus on functionality define every collection. As genuine Swiss tool watches, Ollech & Wajs models are engineered for robustness and reliability while maintaining a distinctive aesthetic. They are designed for watch enthusiasts who appreciate honest mechanical engineering, durable materials, and authentic Swiss heritage.

​

The brand offers an independent interpretation of Swiss watchmaking while preserving its strong connection to Zurich. Historic roots, technical expertise, and contemporary manufacturing come together to create authentic mechanical timepieces with a unique identity. For those seeking a watch with history, functionality, and personality, Ollech & Wajs represents a compelling combination of tradition and modern Swiss watchmaking.

In 2020, Jenni Uhren AG became the first official Ollech & Wajs retailer in Switzerland and remains the brand's exclusive Swiss retail partner today. This longstanding partnership reflects mutual trust, technical expertise, and a shared passion for independent Swiss watchmaking. Our customers benefit from personal advice, decades of experience, and a carefully curated collection. Reflecting its commitment to quality, Ollech & Wajs also provides a three-year manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects.
