Ole Mathiesens proud tradition of watchmaking, can be dated back to the year 1845, where the watchmakers Carl Matthæi and J.P. Christensen, founded a watch workshop in the heart of Copenhagen. Until the year of 1919 Alvild Dahl, Christensen and Matthæi produced pocket watches and chronometer watches. In the year of 1919 the famous watch workshop was assigned to the watch specialist Axel O. Mathiesen, that with a new modern take and success managed to redesign the watch workshop and initiate a cooperation with a watch brand from Switzerland. This was the beginning of the family company and of the historic Ole Mathiesen shop in the heart of Copenhagen. In 1962 Ole Mathiesen was assigned with the company from his father Axel O. Mathiesen, where he followed the traditional steps of his father as a watch specialist. With an innovative ingeniousness to the craftmanship of watches, among other from his time as a watchmaker in the reputed watch company Jaeger-LeCoultre from Switzerland, Ole Mathiesen created the foundation of a collection of the finest, timeless and classic watches, that still more than 40 year after, almost unchanged, creates great admiration all over the world. In the year of 2002 the third generation of the Mathiesen family – Christian Mathiesen was assigned with the company. Since that day he has extended and renewed the classic design from Ole Mathiesen. Furthermore, has Christian Mathiesen extended the historical shop, that still is placed in the heart of Copenhagen at Østergade nr. 8, with international watch brands as Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, A. Lange & Söhne and many more.
