At the start, the pair sold watches from brands like Breitling and Omega but decided to then to create their own brand, which was to become Ollech & Wajs Zürich, whose watches were first launched in 1959. Using movements from ETA, Dubois Dépraz, and Valjoux, cases from Maison Étienne, and dials from Frères Lender du Locle, Ollech & Wajs Zürich found success in their release of pilot, dive, and other tool watches.
