Dubey & Schaldenbrand Grand Dome DT
April 20, 2012 @ 14:35  |  Author:

A fresh start for Dubey & Schaldenbrand. Under the ownership of Jonatan Gil since 2009, the brand is stepping back into the spotlight with exclusive and resolutely contemporary timepieces, as the Grand Dôme DT eloquently demonstrates. The tonneau case makes its mark with force and elegance. It houses a finely worked Valjoux 7751 caliber. The dial and counters interlace circles of different dimensions with subtly contrasting checkered guilloché and sunray satin finishes. The complications – date, day, month, moon phases and chronograph – are vertically aligned for visual balance and at-a-glance legibility.
