One of the most long-lasting collections of the brand, it’s also one that pays tribute to its history, with a classic design and a name that refers […]
Since its creation in 1918, Mido (a brand owned by the Swatch Group) has made a name for itself with its very coherent offering, combining reliability and accessibility.
