History of SevenFriday

SEVENFRIDAY was founded in Zürich, Switzerland, in 2012 by Dan Niederer and Arnaud Duval. SevenFriday watches make a real statement with their unique and iconic designs. Niederer believes that a quality watch can be aesthetically top of the range but at an affordable price.

Founder Dan Niederer calls the decision to start SEVENFRIDAY “stupidity” with a hint of ‘’midlife crisis’’ and a strong whiff of ‘’not being able to work for others anymore,’’ but most importantly, one that allowed him to realize his dreams. Niederer studied law at university, followed by various jobs in the luxury industry in Asia and Australia.

He realized that working for others was not for him and decided to take a leap of faith and create a new brand. With co-founder and designer Arnaud Duval, work on the project started in 2008/2009 while Niederer was living in Bangkok. In 2012, when he moved back to Switzerland, SEVENFRIDAY became his full-time activity. The first SEVENFRIDAY sold in July of the same year. Today over 36,000 watches are sold per year with an impressive global following.

SEVENFRIDAY Collections

M-Series

The M-Series collection is both modern and classic, a perfect watch for the daytime with its discs that rotate clockwise instead of hands. Boasting a 47 X 47.6mm cushion case in either stainless steel, rose gold, or black PVD on a leather or rubber strap.

P-Series

The P-Series is SEVENFRIDAY’s core collection recognizable by its case shape like an old TV set. An automatic watch with a skeleton dial inspired by the machines of the start of the industrial revolution. A unique timepiece that is guaranteed to get you noticed.

Q-Series

The Q-Series was introduced in 2016 and was the first SEVENFRIDAY with a date display. The 44.3 X 49.7 mm case comes with rounded edges to soften the watch’s look and feel and an embedded NFC chip for authentication.

S-Series

The S-Series was launched in 2017 and stayed true to SEVENFRIDAY’s industrial themed timepieces. The watches feature the signature square-shaped case and open-worked dial. Conscious of the environment, the nylon ring is made of entirely recyclable material.

T-Series

The T-Series watches span dimensions of 45mm x 45.6mm on the wrist, which is about 2mm smaller than watches from the P, M, and S series. The TMI Seiko NH70 skeleton movement is visible through the dial.

V-Series

The V-Series looks different from the other SEVENFRIDAY collections but sticks with the same fundamentals that made the M-Series and the P-Series such a success. The collection is larger in case size than its predecessors, but it feels smaller on the wrist without lugs.

W-Series

The W-Series comes with a different case design similar to the V-Series. The multi-level W-Series interface features a centralized 12H disc recalling the saw blade. A plus is the super easy strap change system.
