A piece of 1970s history, brought back to life!
This vintage DuBois 1785 alarm watch from the 1970s combines classic charm with meticulous restoration work. Fitted with a reliable AS-1931 hand-wound movement, it is a prime example of the mechanical watchmaking craftsmanship of that time.
It has been extensively restored in our workshop, with the case refinished through grinding and polishing, a new crystal fitted and the crowns professionally replaced.
The dial shows slight, authentic signs of ageing which emphasise this watch's vintage character and bring its history to life.
