Today, the company's master-crafted objects to protect even finer objects are being celebrated for 20 years of being light years ahead By: E.J. Webber T he history of a company is not always the most interesting – often it is cut and dried and very to the point. But, the House of BUBEN&ZORWEG is another story entirely. Celebrating their 20th anniversary as a true luxury company that is known all over the world, BUBEN&ZORWEG's kernel of inception began in Austria when two ten year old boys, Harald Buben and Christian Zörweg dreamed of traveling around the world as they walked home from school together, kicking the pebbles of their future along the road. Soon, as university students, they found themselves selling Australian opals to jewelers and while still in school, established their company, one that specialized in luxury watch winders, designed to encase and care for self-winding watches. eir dedication and craftsmanship to the automatic mechanical rewinding of timepieces led them to invite Daniel Zörweg, Christian's brother, to become a shareholder of their brand and becoming the manager of the clock and watch atelier. From small beginnings luxury empires may grow, and grow it did with BUBEN&ZORWEG becoming a leader in the technology of not only the finest of timepieces and watch winders, but of the creation of bespoke objects and interiors that showcase all that is precious to clients in over 100 countries. And looking to the future and being able to see the imaginable is after all what has propelled them forward since they were ten. Seeing the design that encased a self-winding watch made them realize that other items far larger than a watch, such as prized family heirlooms and collections of great value could also be stored and displayed in customized "boxes" to suite the pleasure of those who wish their collections to also be available for viewing.
