FROM THE 2007 DUBOULECollection - The GentsBristol AutomaticSkeleton Brown Leather Strap/Brown Dial.Comes in Original Gift Box.Factory Warranty and Certificate of Authenticity is included.Retails for $1,820.00Product Description:FROM THE 2007 Duboule Collection -- The Gents Bristol Automatic Skeleton Brown Leather Strap/Brown DialThis rugged, yet handsome timepiece from the makers of Duboule can be yours if you so desire. And why not? A beautiful mirror-like polish has been applied to every curve and crevice of the stainless steel case. Turning this particular case to the side, you catch a glimpse of the craftsmanship that has gone into the angled edges along with the smooth, ergonomic convex proportion of the crystal as it sits flush with the case. In fact, the geometric nature along the edge acts as the perfect antithesis for the graceful swirls of bridges, exposed within for your viewing pleasure. As a brilliant finish to this piece, a genuine leather strap has been given a unique alligator texture that acts as a compliment to the satin finished ring inside. In 2006 the Duboule brand was acquired by Le Bonheur Groupe of Geneva Switzerland. Le Bonheur Groupe is managed by industry veteran Peter Leastch, who served as the president of the US division of the Swiss Watch Federation for over 10 years. Beginning in 2007, under Le Bonheur, each Duboule timepiece has been meticulously hand crafted to the most stringent of Swiss standards with incredible precision and the highest quality materials. By the late 16th century master watchmakers were distinguished by their diversity and pure imagination; the sky was the limit for style and function alike. Timepieces were often made inside of pendants and charms shaped into everything from human skulls to various animals like dogs, rabbits, and even fish. The more obscure the piece, the better. As the complexity of timepieces matured, the distinction between watches and other types of jewelry became more defined. Then a jeweler and watchmaker by the name of Martin Duboule took signing to the next level when he added the phrase, " Genve" underneath his name. This revolutionary decision was first presented on a skull watch made circa 1620. Martin was also known in his trade as a lapidary (precious stone engraver). This ability was well recognized when he created the earliest known Geneva watch decorated with champlev enamel that now resides in Paris' Cluny museum.Jean-Baptiste Duboule, Martin's son, soon became a master watchmaker and engraver in his own right. The astronomical fusee watch he made ca. 1680 now resides in the British museum and is claimed to be the finest piece ever made for its time. Jean-Baptiste Duboule also would go on to revolutionize the fusee watch design. By the mid-17th century, watches operated with a mainspring made of either a length of catgut or chain. This spring, after the watch had been fully wound, will slowly wrap around a conical spiral as the timekeeper runs during the course of the day.It is due to both father and son's immeasurable talents and contributions to the watchmaking world that we pay tribute. The plethora of beautiful timepieces that make up the Duboule collection are made with a perfect balance of precise craftsmanship and refined presence. So join us as we remember the brilliant watches of the past with these incredible timepieces of today.-Movement-Automatic TY-2807 movement w/ 21 jewels-Case-41.3mm x 14.5mm 316L series stainless steel caseScrew-down case backCurved K1 hardened mineral top crystal w/ anti-reflective coatingWater resistant up to 5 ATM-Dial-Skeleton design w/ decorated bridges & rotorLuminous hands-Band-200mm x 19mm genuine Rembord stitched leather strap-Warranty-One year limited non-transferable manufacturers warranty For more information: www.duboule.com100% Guaranteed Customer Satisfaction. 100% Positive Feedback.Feel free to make an offer on any of my items.
