DUBEY & SCHALDENBRAND Index Mobile / Vintage Split Seconds Chronograph

Dubey & Schaldenbrand, a brand with real character, marked sixty years since its founding in 2006.

It was founded by Georges Dubey and René Schaldenbrand.

On a Landeron calibre base, they developed the Index Mobile, an affordable split-seconds chronograph using a hairspring.

In 1995 Dubey transferred management to Cinette Robert, herself a movement collector.

She fitted Dubey & Schaldenbrand watches with old-stock movements, and they quickly gained a following.

Representative pieces include the Aerodyn (1997).

In recent years the firm has announced more classical designs.

This watch is a model carrying the simplified split-seconds chronograph, the Index Mobile.

The coil spring at the centre of the dial is its defining feature, and a black dial with an exquisite degree of burn will give you a chic look.
