Dubey & Schaldenbrand Lady Automatic No. 911 - A Manifesto of Elegance in the 1990s! Dubey & Schaldenbrand is an independent Swiss brand founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1946 by Georges Dubey and René Schaldenbrand. When the brand was revived in the late 1990s under the leadership of Cinette Robert, it maintained its boutique production approach, blending traditional "Swiss Made" watchmaking with modern design. This Lady Automatic model, produced in 1998, is a very special and rare example that reflects the elegance of that revival period. The case features elegant tonneau (barrel-shaped) lines and a polished stainless steel surface that reflects light with a silky finish. The dial is striking with its silver-mother-of-pearl gradient, gold-black Art Déco numerals, and red-tipped seconds hand. The DS logo on the crown and clasp are distinctive details from the brand's 1990s "revival" series. The "No. 911" on the case back represents the watch's limited edition number; each example from this period was individually hand-numbered. The watch is powered by the ETA 2671 automatic caliber, which met extremely high technical standards for its time. Designed to fit within a small case, this movement stands out with its 25 jewels, 28,800 A/h vibration, approximately 38 hours of power reserve, and a stop-seconds (hacking) feature. Its silent rotor movement and precise timekeeping perfectly reflect Dubey & Schaldenbrand's motto of "Swiss precision in motion." An original pink alligator leather strap completes the elegance; the box also includes alternative straps in blue and red. This way, the watch exudes both classic jewelry elegance and the dynamism of a modern "lady automatic."
