about us

Since 1939, Marathon Watch Company has stood as a proud Canadian manufacturer with deep roots in authentic military heritage. Our story began even earlier, in 1904, as Weinsturm Watch, evolving through the years under the guidance of the Wein family. It was Morris Wein who officially established the Marathon brand, dedicating it to producing precision timepieces for North America and beyond. For over eight decades, our commitment has remained unwavering. Since 1941, we have been entrusted by the Allied Forces to manufacture reliable timing instruments. This legacy of durability and precision is the bedrock of everything we create today. Now under the leadership of the fourth generation of the Wein family, we continue to honor that tradition, crafting a wide range of professional instruments that measure time, temperature, and distance. Every Marathon watch is purpose-built, blending rugged military durability with renowned Swiss engineering and craftsmanship. This fusion ensures an uncompromising level of quality, accuracy, and reliability—whether for specialized units like the USMC, IDF, and Canadian Maple Leaf editions, or for everyday adventurers. We are more than a watch company; we are keepers of a legacy, dedicated to providing tools that perform when it matters most.
