During a trade fair in Basel in 1949, the company presented over one hundred watch models in its sales catalogue. In the 50’s and 60’s, Mulco Watch Factory SA also used movements from FHF, AS, Valjoux and ETA for their model series.
The Mulco brand is still registered in Switzerland today, and has been part of the Watch Design International CA since 2007 .
