Some watch designs from past years are still, even today, genuine eye-catchers. It is therefore no wonder that vintage watches are very popular with numerous watch aficionados.
Especially sought-after are watches that tell a story. And storytelling is just as much in the blood of DuBois et fils as its ability for innovation.
The story of the Aérienne N°2 goes back to the golden age of pocket watches. In memory of the first pocket watches with an indication of the power reserve more than 200 years ago, DuBois et fils produced a refined edition of wristwatches with pocket watch movements.
The silver dial impresses with its different finely chased and colour-coded zones. The classic indexes and Arabic numerals below 12 o'clock were individually appliqued by hand. With the large date and the small seconds counter at 6 o'clock, the Aérienne N°2 discreetly reminds us on the successful watch models of the DBF001 and DBF003 collection.
