A new integrated chronograph by Dubois Dépraz

Dubois Dépraz will exhibit its novelties at the EPHJ fair from 18 to 21 June 2019 in Geneva. Among other developments, the Vallée de Joux manufacture will introduce two new releases, an integrated chronograph and an annual calendar, which will be available to all its customers.

I

t is symbolically the year of the 50th anniversary of the Chronomatic/Calibre 11, developed by Dubois Dépraz and unveiled in 1969 by three major watch brands, that the Vallée de Joux manufacture presents its first integrated chronograph.

The 118-year-old independent company - still in family hands - has equipped the DD 540 calibre with a three-day power reserve. This column-wheel manufacture movement indicates the measured time using a seconds hand in the centre and two concentric hands (hours/minutes) on a single counter.

With its many years of experience in this field, Dubois Dépraz also announces a new additional mechanism with an annual calendar, all in sobriety, with only the date and the name of the month as indications. Built on the basis of an ETA or Sellita movement, this complication can also be adapted to manufacture movements on demand.
