The Story

"Inspired by the legacy of my great-grandfather Emile Muller, the first of 4 generations of watchmakers in my family, BRELLUM distributes its timepieces directly from our workshops to our customers around the world.

By setting up his first workshop in 1910, at a time when today's distribution networks did not exist, my great-grandfather would unknowingly become the initiator of BRELLUM's current distribution concept.
During the week, he would concentrate on the design and production of his timepieces, and at weekends, he would travel by train to Geneva or Zurich to meet his wealthy customers directly.

A century later, BRELLUM is driven by this same vision of the intimate link between the watchmaker and the enthusiast, and distributes its timepieces directly to its customers around the world. "


Sébastien Muller, Watchmaker


Immersing myself in watchmaking for over 25 years, I was entirely dedicated to acquiring new skills in this timeless industry. Upon undertaking roles such as Product Manager and Quality Control Manager for a number of world famous watchmaking companies, at the ripe age of 42, I sought to use these experiences to create something of my own.

And so, BRELLUM was brought to inception from my desire to offer fellow enthusiasts with a new vision of what high quality watchmaking should look like. Not just for today, but for future generations to come.

With no compromise in quality, the BRELLUM models are manufactured using high-end materials with reliable automatic, mechanical movements officially certified by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC).

“In order to know where one is going, we must remember where we come from” – Born out of a small village called Bonfol I used this philosophy from Italian writer Antonio Gramsci to mirror that of the BRELLUM brand. Take for example, our Duobox range which is inspired by the past but showcases elements of Swiss modernity in its design.

The name, “BRELLUM” also contains an anagram of my surname as my values and experiences blend perfectly with the DNA of the brand.



Taking resemblance from the Latin word, “Bellum” which means war or fight, the BRELLUM brand is a subtle reminder of the daily fights of life that each of us experience.

Our timepieces are symbolic of the resoluteness needed to withstand these struggles, guided by our convictions throughout.

The logo is inspired by a creature of regional mythology, the Wyvern – a hybrid of dragon, bird and serpent, popular in folklore. A precious stone known as the Carbuncle is encrusted into the Wyvern’s forehead. A symbol discreetly embedded into the crown of all BRELLUM watches.
