The Van Der Bauwede watch legacy began when founder Maxence Van Der Bauwede settled in Geneve in the early ‘80s after working for the largest Swiss watch companies in the world. A decade later, Max created the very first models of the Van Der Bauwede watches called “Legend” and “Magnum”, and founded the company that would soon grow to be recognized worldwide for quality timepieces.
Max Van Der Bauwede was born in 1873 in the town of Brugge, which was then known as a “Northern Venice”, and it was here that he was responsible for installation and upkeeping of sophisticated watch mechanisms on the town’s cathedrals, castles and towers. Alexis had to work with mechanism that often weighed a few tons, but he devoted his free time to his first passion---the making of miniature hand watches. Throughout the generations of Van Der Bauwede’s, all of his grandsons inherited their grandfather’s passion for watch making., and now Van Der Bauwede offers elegantly designed timepieces of the finest quality and craftsmanship. Today, the creations of Maxence Van Der Bauwede are largely on the wrists and in the collections of private collectors and individuals of stature because each Van Der Bauwede is like a rare find.
