dubey & schaldenbrand<br />
Two visionaries in the world of watchmaking, Georges dubey and rene Schaldenbrand, established their firm in 1946 and immediately intro-<br />
duced impressive innovations, all the while holding true to an aesthetic of quiet elegance. The owner of the brand today, Jonatan Gil, is an expert<br />
in vintage watches and thoughtful guardian of the brand’s characteristics and design elements. He continues to ensure that each of the company’s<br />
movements is individually engraved by a master engraver (making them one-of-a-kind items), and finished as beautifully on the inside<br />
as the outside.<br />

version is embellished with 432—8.92 carats worth—of diamonds ($65,975).<br />
