Founded in 1834 in Germany, Wolf 1834 is a family business specialized in the creation of cases, boxes and winders for the watchmaking industry. For five generations, the Wolf family has passed on its know-how through the ages and continents. Indeed, each new heir moves the company's headquarters to a different country, perfectly illustrating the paths of independent entrepreneurship.

Over the years, the company has industrialized and gained new markets by establishing itself successively in Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States and Asia. This geographical expansion allowed Wolf 1834 to become known internationally and to offer its products to watch lovers all over the world.

The company's concept was born from the desire to protect goods by preserving and safeguarding them in quality cases. In 1836, Philip Wolf I, the company's founder, designed a family crest based on the coat of arms of the city of Hanau. This design was used in a later collection of the brand, illustrating the importance of family tradition in the company.
