Today, 26 October 2004, Ole Mathiesen from replica Franck Muller watch Copenhagen, Denmark, has won the 2004 Classic Danish Design prize with a watch model which he produces since 1962. Just like 42 years ago, this watch now comes in two variations, the OMB1 and the OMB2, with with roman numerals and index markers both with a mechanical (hand winding) movement.

As a solid well-established company with a good public reputation Ole Mathiesen watches is on one hand equated with traditional fine watch crafting and on the other hand it is equated with innovation. It is the tradition, the will and the ability to understand that a watch needs to be more than just an attractive possession that explain why several generations are still attracted to the small company in Copenhagen.

København It is difficult to summarize life in Copenhagen as a local, or should I probably call it København? It’s about healthy habits, protecting the surroundings, keeping everything neat and in place, staying fit and cycling to work, traditions, education and generosity – in one expensive place to live in. It is about trusting the authorities and living in peace and respecting on another by obeying the rules.
