 The establishment of the Mk II watch company is  dated 2002, when its founder, Bill Yao, was still a student of the University of Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania state. At the beginning, the company supplied the market with watch components and offered a repair package for watches to other brands. Such eminent brand, as Seiko Diver used the company's services.
During the development, the brand turned into the company that specialized in producing watches with Swiss movements. The company's production is widely used for the military purposes. The company itself bears the name of the grenade used during the Second World War. Models of Mk II watches personify the technical qualities being inherent in this gun of the wartime: reliability, durability and quality. Constant use of innovative introductions in production and traditional classical “no-frills” design have won good reputation due to watches for the company.
