Founded in 1919 in Biel, Switzerland, Milus has long stood as a symbol of refined Swiss watchmaking. Among its most storied creations is the Snow Star, a model with a remarkable backstory: originally included in "Life Barter Kits" issued to U.S. Navy pilots during WWII, the Milus watch was meant to help secure freedom if captured behind enemy lines — a testament to its value and reliability.
Rediscovered in 2010 through a U.S. military historian, and reimagined in 2019 for the brand’s centenary, the modern Snow Star pays homage to this legacy with updated materials and precision engineering, while honoring the spirit of adventure and resilience that made it iconic.
Owning a Milus is not just about fine watchmaking — it’s owning a piece of history.
