New Watch on the Block


Although Michele watches have only been known in the United States for a few years, the true history behind the company goes back to the 1940's. The company began with the exquisite thinking of watchmaker Maurice Barouh in Belgium. His strong belief in quality and refinement set the company up for where it is today.

Maurice was fascinated with watches and was intrigued to build and create enticing designs. He saw timepieces as much more than just a way to identify the time. They were a sense of style. And the designs of the watches he created directly reflected his beliefs in craftsmanship, styling and quality.

Over time, Maurice eventually passed on his passion and desire of creating magnificent timepieces to his son Jack Barouh. Jack operated in the Latin American area and quickly became known. It was his individuality and dedication to every small piece of the watch that caught the attention of people in the area. He seemed to have a keen eye for every little detail, which separated the timepieces he created from others.
