Magellan Watch S.A. is a Swiss watch house whose identity is rooted in a fascination with Ferdinand de Magellan — the explorer and visionary who completed the first circumnavigation of the world, forever changing our understanding of the planet. More than a timekeeper, each Magellan watch is a work of art: the brand's innovative three-dimensional concept, with curved hands following the contours of a globe, evokes exploration and the conquest of new horizons.

In 2024, Wasfi Taher, joined by his son Rami Taher, acquired Magellan Watch S.A. For this passionate horologist who has been based in Switzerland since 1990, the acquisition was more than a business decision — it was an obvious calling. A graduate in business administration from the Arab University of Beirut, Wasfi Taher quickly established strong relationships with the leading Swiss manufactures after arriving in Switzerland, becoming a respected figure in the watchmaking world.

The singular and protected aesthetic of Magellan immediately captivated Wasfi Taher, who recognised in its creations a rare emotion — combining high technical mastery with apparent simplicity. This alliance between Swiss watchmaking expertise and modern artistic expression reflects the brand's vision: to celebrate discovery and innovation while honouring tradition.

Under his leadership, Magellan Watch S.A. aspires to become a global reference, blending creative boldness with technical excellence.
