Doxa
Doxa was founded in 1889 by Georges Ducommun (1868-1936) in LeLocle, Switzerland. While the company is mainly known today for its sporty diver's wristwatches, its early associations were with speed and travel.

In 1908, Doxa patented an eight-day watch movement that was later used in submarines, aircraft and racing cars. Automobile manufacturer Bugatti, for example, built the timepiece into the dashboards of its cars.

Doxa also produced military timepieces, as well as decorative and thematic pocket watches featuring motifs such as trains and cars. In the 1920s and 1930s, the company made fashionable watches for men and women, including travel watches, alarm clocks and lady's jewellery watches. By the late 1930s, special emphasis had also been given to chronographs for pilots and other professionals.

拍品专文

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

This highly attractive and eminently wearable vintage chronograph with two-tone multi-scale layout of the dial and the unusual straight lugs and flat band of the case give a very clean line to the watch allowing the dial to be its most prominent feature. The aesthetic impact is matched by the honesty of its condition.

The 14K gold case indicates that it was intended originally for the American market. The movement was supplied by either Enicar, Packard or Delbana which is confirmed by the import code engraved on the balance bridge “LOE” which was the American import code used for those three companies.
