Comes with a replacement leather strap. The MATY brand was founded in 1951 in Besançon by Gérard Mantion and his wife Elyane. He combined the first letters of his name to form “Mati,” then changed the spelling to MATY to give it a more modern, American-sounding name. In 1975, the first MATY Suisse collection was launched, marking the brand’s official commitment to Swiss-certified production (Swiss Made).
