Description

With an over 300-year history, DuBois et Fils began as a textile trading company. In the 1720s, Moise DuBois took leadership and began trading pocket watches by 1743. By 1751, DuBois et Fils began to produce their own watches and sold more than 110,000 pocket watches. Continuing on this incredible success, they transitioned to making wristwatches in 1910. DuBois is the oldest Swiss factory with a wide collection of high-quality timepieces. This is a rare timepiece of the elegant chronograph from the house of DuBois & Fils in a gold case. It features an aperture showing the date between 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock, a window located at 6 o'clock showing the moon phase, and a white dial with a legible Arabic number to tell time. Accompanied by a black crocodile strap.


Honest Vintage: The Greg Selch Collection

A native New Yorker from a family of connoisseurs, Greg Selch has collected watches for over 20 years, among many other things. Over the years, Selch has become well-known for his passion: “orphan watches” as well as well-worn watches with patina, for which a term has been created:  #selchism.
