Milus

Milus is a Swiss watch brand founded in Bienne, Switzerland in 1919 by Paul William Junod. Its official history page states that the brand was founded in Bienne in 1919 and that Paul Herbert Junod, son of the founder, took over the company in 1951. The brand's current collections include the Snow Star, Archimèdes by Milus, and LAB 01 lines, offered through its official website. Milus describes the Snow Star as a historic flagship model that was included in US Navy pilots' "life barter kits" during the mid 20th century, and it has reissued the Snow Star as an homage to that history. The Archimèdes by Milus is presented as the modern successor to the Super Compressor, while LAB 01 is described as reflecting an active urban lifestyle with a fibreglass dial and automatic Sellita movement.
