MAZZUCCHELLI'S first opened its ‘golden’ doors in 1903 in Boulder, Western Australia under the partnership of watchmaker Matthew Mazzucchelli and jeweller Sam Downes. Matthew’s father, Joseph, an Italian from the village of Poschiavo in Switzerland, emigrated to Australia as a miner in 1859 during the Victorian gold rush.

Matthew was born in 1876 in Stawell, Victoria and trained there as a jeweler and watchmaker for 8 years before moving to Coolgardie in 1898 and to Boulder soon after.

Trams from Boulder to Kalgoorlie ran based on the time of an imposing clock at the Mazzucchelli & Downes shop-front. The clock has since been restored and hangs out the front of the Museum of the Goldfields in Kalgoorlie.

Mazzucchelli’s are proud to continue a rich watch making heritage with a long standing association with the world’s finest Swiss watch timepieces. We welcome you to visit a Mazzucchelli's store soon.
