Independent Swiss workshops produced mechanical "Mercury" branded watches throughout the 1940s and 1950s. A notable example is Mercury (Seeland), which carries historical ties to the managers of IWC and Invicta. These watches usually feature manual wind movements, crisp military or elegant champagne dials, and classic gold-filled or stainless steel cases. [1]
