Mido (watch)

Mido SA is a luxury Swiss watchmaking company founded in 1918.The watches are sold through 2400 authorized retailers in 50 countries around the world.

History

Mido was founded in 1918 by George G. Schaeren in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. Mido comes from the Spanish phrase Yo mido meaning "I measure".

In the 1920s, Mido introduced elegant lady’s watches with color enameled shaped cases and modern straps as well as visually attractive timepieces for gentlemen in art deco style, which rapidly established the image required for the new brand name. Mido found a market in the flourishing automotive market by producing watches in the shape of radiator grills of a wide range of brands such as Buick, Bugatti, Fiat, Ford, Excelsior, Hispano-Suiza, etc.

In 1934, Mido launched the Multifort design, the first to use a self-winding automatic movement. It was also shock resistant, anti magnetic and water resistant all in one which remained in the forefront for over three decades right through to the sixties. Mido attained yet another milestone the same year when it launched watches with unbreakable mainsprings. This was also the very first time that any watch manufacturer utilized this type of spring within the market place. During this time period, Mido used a Robot as its ambassador as a symbol of progress and robustness. A comic strip from this era featured the Mido Robot and its adventures.

Famous quotes by Mido:

"Didier is a very good lad, ... He's much better than some people in England think. He hasn't shown the best quality yet but in Marseilles he was incredibly good. I know he will show that again. I still believe he was a great signing for Chelsea. He shouldn't think about how much he cost, just concentrate on his game because I know he will do even better this season."
"I didn't elbow him. It would be different if I tried to elbow him, tried to hurt him."
"I know about football - I've played for six clubs after all - and I can see the changes Martin makes during matches. Managing isn't only about training and talking, it's about what you do during the 90 minutes. That's his strongest point - his tactics, how he changes the game."
"Jermain is a great player,"
"You could see the influence of Edgar in midfield, expressing for every ball and everybody was fighting,"
"The decision to send me off was very unfair, as I was only protecting myself and not elbowing the player."
"It was a normal collision, I went for the ball and even a yellow card is too much."

Imported Society

by: M.O.D.

They came from the other side
In bunches at a time
Crowding up the neighborhood
To raise the rates of crime
Some of them got money
Most of them got shit
All they do is come here
To take from our pockets
Import, import, imported society
Import, import, imported society
Import, import, imported society
Import, import, imported society
Don't you fucking see
That you bother me
Genocide
You can't hide
So go home now
Don't come back
Take your goat
Get on your boat
I hate imports
I don't want to hear their shit
I hate imports
Cause I'm just so sick of it
I just want to
Live my life without you fucking assholes
And I want to
Never see your ass again
Import, import, imported society
Import, import, imported society
Import, import, imported society
Import, import, imported society
Hindus and Ethiopians
You know they're all the same
A huck a buck of Indians
