Mauron Musy Partners with FundTime LLC to Accelerate U.S. Growth Through Strategic Investment and Exclusive Distribution Agreement
Swiss independent watchmaker MAURON MUSY is proud to announce a strategic partnership with FundTime LLC. The U.S.‐based investment firm has taken an equity position in MAURON MUSY and will serve as the exclusive distributor for the American market.
MAURON MUSY's unique nO‐Ring® gasket‐free water‐resistance technology reflects the brand’s founding drive to pursue innovative solutions on its own terms. With FundTime’s investment and exclusive U.S. distribution partnership, that same forward‐looking approach now extends to the brand’s growth strategy and move to reach an even wider community of American watch collectors and connoisseurs.
“At MAURON MUSY, challenging industry conventions is part of our DNA,” said Christophe Musy, Co‐Founder and CEO. “Our no‐gasket innovation represents a human spirit that refuses to accept limits. Partnering with FundTime allows us to bring that spirit to life for new collectors and audiences in the United States. Their passion for independent watchmaking and relationship‐driven approach make them the ideal partner for our next chapter.”
Lior Arussy, Founder and Managing Partner of FundTime LLC, added, “FundTime seeks independent brands whose authenticity and technical ingenuity set new benchmarks. MAURON MUSY stood out from many opportunities because it embodies both Swiss precision and visionary courage. We’re honored to help this remarkable brand reach the appreciation it deserves among U.S. collectors.”
This partnership unites two organizations dedicated to excellence— MAURON MUSY for its revolutionary horological craftsmanship, and FundTime LLC for its mission to empower independent watchmakers through strategic investment and meaningful relationships.
MAURON MUSY is the only watch manufacture in the world to use a fully mechanical water resistance system without gaskets, glue, or screws. The patented nO Ring® technology replaces polymer gaskets with 36 high precision components, ensuring water resistance to 300 meters and eliminating the maintenance linked to aging materials. Entirely developed in house, the case is a true dressing complication and a world exclusive. Its form emerges directly from function, and has become the defining signature of MAURON MUSY. This is not a technical detail. This is MAURON MUSY's reason for being.
“ How could a mechanical watch, built, as everyone likes to say, to outlast generations, depend on a rubber gasket, a material that inevitably degrades over time? This was not a detail. It was a flaw in the logic. As an engineer, I had to fix it. ”
MAURON MUSY watches are not labeled " Swiss Made " but " Swiss Crafted. " This certification guarantees that 100 % of each component of the watch is designed, developed, and manufactured in Switzerland. No value threshold is involved, as all expertise and production originate from the Swiss watchmaking industry, within a 60km radius of the manufacture. More than a label, "Swiss Crafted" reflects an industrial ethic upheld by the brand, emphasizing full local mastery and continuity of know how.
Everything we make starts with a question - Founded in 2013 in the Broye Valley, at the foot of the Swiss Jura, MAURON MUSY was created by Eric Mauron and Christophe Musy, two minds shaped by precision mechanics. From the beginning, their approach was driven not by a desire to be different, but by a need for coherence. Not by provocation, but by conviction. They questioned what others accepted, examined what no longer made sense, and rebuilt until clarity returned. Months of research led to a technical breakthrough: the patented nO‐Ring® technology, the only fully mechanical water‐resistance system in the world without gaskets. Born from reasoning rather than convention, the system became the foundation for the brand’s distinctive case architecture. From function, form followed. What began as Christmas gifts for their families soon met unexpected demand, and MAURON MUSY took shape. From the start, MAURON MUSY has been guided by purpose, precision, and coherence. Production is limited to 300 pieces per year, because what is made with integrity cannot be rushed or repeated at scale. This same philosophy led to the label Swiss Crafted, beyond Swiss Made: a standard certifying that 100% of each watch is designed, developed, and manufactured in Switzerland.
FundTime LLC is an active investment and distribution firm dedicated to accelerating the success of independent watchmakers. Through strategic equity partnerships, deep industry expertise, and a relationship‐centric approach, FundTime helps artisans amplify their global presence while maintaining their creative integrity.
