Throughout its history, the brand has combined technical precision with distinctive design, earning recognition among collectors of traditional Swiss watches.
During the 1950s, wristwatch design entered a particularly elegant period, characterized by refined dials, gold-toned cases and increasingly expressive lug shapes.
