FS: Dubey&Schaldenbrand Aquadyn Militaire PVD, retail $7950.00.
I am in the process of reducing my collection to a reasonable amount of watches that can be worn. This watch is way too nice to not be worn, and that is exactly what's happening. Pictures don't do this watch justice. It truly is a masterpiece and fits easily into my collection, however something has to go.
Here is some background on the watch:
Dubey & Schaldenbrand was founded in 1946 by Georges Dubey and Rene Schaldenbrand. Since 1995 it has been under the creative direction and inspiration of Ms. Cinette Robert, the great granddaughter of the Meylan-LeCoultre family. Dubey & Schaldenbrand offers a line of fine Swiss watches noted for extraordinary style and design, as well as precision Swiss engineering and attention to detail, these watches are some of the most gorgeous and exciting watches available anywhere. The company has their workshops in Les Brenets. Its focus is specializing in dress watches with a “retro” feel.
This watch is an Automatic, Black PVD Stainless Steel Dubey & Schaldenbrand Aquadyn Militaire PVD, Limited Edition to 100 Pieces. The masculine black PVD Stainless Steel case has a cintrée curvex shape which measures to 36 x 48 mm with domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal, crown at 3 o'clock and a solid caseback. The large, PVD case houses a self-winding, automatic Dubey & Schaldenbrand movement with a power reserve and is water resistance up to 100 meters. The black dial is breathtaking and has brightly fluorescent art deco Arabic numerals, white hands at center, an outer minutes/seconds track, small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock and a double date window below 12 o'clock. Completing this piece is a black leather strap with contrast stitching and a matching Dubey & Schaldenbrand tang buckle.
Personal note-- Dubey & Schaldenbrand has created a watch that features all the basic things you would love to have on a watch. The Aquadyn Militaire enshrines the expertise of a broad array of some of the world's finest watchmaking specialists. The black PVD case is robust and extremely masculine with the black dial to give it a further mysterious look. It embodies memories of joyful moments and look amazing with any outfit. And you can bet on the probability that their owners will wish to hand down these precious timepieces and their history to future generations.
