Aldo Magada, with over 40 years of experience in the watchmaking industry working for prestigious brands, is the source of the passion shared with his brother Mario for fine Swiss mechanical watchmaking. Their shared desire is to perpetuate this love through a unique family venture. Together, they embraced the bold challenge of creating a brand from the ground up, rather than reviving a name from the past. The passing of their elder brother, Juan, served as the catalyst that propelled them to bring this family project to fruition.
Inspired by the model of 19th-century watchmaking counters, Aldo and Mario have united the expertise of the finest watchmakers, case makers, and dial makers around values that reflect their own. Their ambition is simple: to create sophisticated timepieces with complete simplicity and transparency, initiating a relaxed approach to watchmaking that focuses on authenticity and human connection.
This approach is accompanied by complete traceability of all components, each manufactured in Switzerland, placing trust at the core of the relationship with connoisseurs of exclusive and elegant products. A new convivial community that embraces pleasure and shared experiences.
Bimbu embodies the Italian soul, Swiss excellence, and the expression of universal values.
Our artisans have placed their exceptional expertise at the service of Bimbu, conferring upon our timepieces a strength, boldness, and sophistication born of simplicity. A discreet yet authentic luxury, revealed through subtle details and unparalleled quality.
The technical quality and execution of the various components serve the aesthetic emotion of timekeeping. Each partner was able to express their unique savoir-faire, contributing to the development of our inaugural collection: Patrium.
This collection is the first step of a journey through time, a novel, high-end Swiss horological proposition that is original, elegant, and exclusive.
Bimbu is the fruit of a family venture initiated by Aldo and Mario Magada. Passionate and audacious, they knew how to surround themselves with the best partners to bring their dream to life. A human adventure at the heart of each watch.
Aldo has spent over 40 years in the watch industry, holding various positions in business management, strategic development, international distribution, marketing and product management.
He has led brands such as Ebel, Gucci Watches and Zenith. He has worked for market-leading groups such as the Swatch Group, Richemont, Kering and LVMH, covering a wide range of products from Swatch to Piaget fine jewellery.
Watchmaking combines engineering and design, and offers a world of passion!
To see the full profile, go to his LinkedIn:
After studying pharmacy and obtaining a doctorate in biopharmacy, Mario retained from his training a taste for know-how that is passed on, for precision and respect for a commitment.
He always lacked a space for expression that would leave room for emotion, that of craftsmanship, the exceptional, and rarity. The taste for beautiful things and things well made naturally led him to turn to watchmaking, a passion passed on by Aldo during all these years of activity.
A world of great wealth, both technological and aesthetic. Hence the desire to share it, in all simplicity and conviviality
