The company Mido was established in 1918 by George G. Schaeren in Biel/Bienne in Switzerland. The name "Mido" comes from the Spanish expression "Yo mido" and means "I measure". In the 1920, Mido launched colourful enamel wristwatches for ladies in extravagant forms and with modern bracelets, as well as gentlemen’s Art Deco style wristwatches.
