This make also had a short life (from 1909 to 1914). It was founded in Zurich by Martin Fischer who had gained his design experience at Turicum and who was considered one of his country’s most versatile and eclectic designers. Amongst other things he invented a gearbox with internally toothed pinions and a sleeve valve engine.

The 10/33 was a successful model. It incorporated the two technical features already mentioned and its wheels could be fitted quickly because there was only a single, central bolt. The front-mounted engine was water cooled and developed 33 bhp at 1,200 revs. The 10/33 had shaft drive, Bosch magneto ignition and a multi-plate clutch. The brake pedal acted on the transmission and the hand brake controlled drum brakes.
Before the outbreak of the First World War Fischer had designed a 6-cylinder car but he was only able to produce three examples. After the war he began again as an independent designer putting forward, in 1919 , an idea for a small car with seats in tandem, and in 1921 a new engine with sleeve valves which he handed over to a German firm.
Fischer’s most valuable invention was perhaps the gearbox with internally toothed gear-wheels.
