Ole Mathiesen
Danish watch manufacturer.
The history of the watch company Ole Mathiesen dates back to the year 1845, when the watchmakers Carl Matthæi and J.P. Christensen set up a watch shop in Copenhagen. Carl Matthæi, as master of the watchmakers guild, was awarded the title "Supplier of the Royal Danish Court" and produced timepieces for King Frederik VII. and Countess Danner. The company was taken over 1919 by Axel Mathiesen and later by his son Ole Mathiesen. Axel Mathiesen equipped the watches with Swiss quality movements. Ole Mathiesen took over in 1957.
In 1962 the typical classical Ole Mathiesen watch with the simple design was created.
