Story & Heritage

Founded in 1889 by Georges Ducommun in Le Locle, Switzerland, Doxa quickly established itself as a respected manufacturer of high-quality mechanical timepieces. Long before becoming famous for its professional diving watches, the company built its reputation through elegant dress watches and finely crafted pocket watches that demonstrated the precision and reliability of traditional Swiss watchmaking.

During the 1930s and 1940s, Doxa produced a wide range of refined ladies' watches characterized by graceful proportions, sophisticated dials, and reliable hand-wound movements. These pieces were often purchased as treasured gifts and were designed to accompany their owners through a lifetime of special occasions.

This Small Second model beautifully reflects that period. The harmonious silver dial, elegant Arabic numerals, delicate subsidiary seconds register, and striking blued hands embody the understated sophistication that made Swiss watches of this era so desirable.

Finding a 1940s Doxa preserved in genuine NOS condition, complete with its original box, is becoming increasingly difficult. Most examples have seen decades of regular use, making this untouched survivor a particularly attractive opportunity for collectors seeking originality and historical authenticity.

A beautiful and increasingly rare example of vintage Swiss horology, preserved almost exactly as it left the Doxa workshops more than eighty years ago.
