Henri Duvoisin watches

Is anyone familiar with the rebirthed Henri Duvoisin brand? I have been searching for vintage examples of their watches following Anders recent thread on his acquisition of the beautiful triple calendar, but they seem rare indeed and I cannot currently find one example for sale. Instead I visited the Henri Duvoisin website and found some extremely appealing watches. It appears they have very few distribution centers so it may be a while before I can actually see one, but if any of you have dabbled in the new company watches, I would appreciate your views.

No idea

All I know is what is on their hardly functional website. The movement finishing looks good. If the price is right, I might certainly dabble. Dean

Given the rarity of your watch, and the stunningly beautiful dial. It is certainly on a par with the other triple calendars of that era, and at a mighty attractive price. What a find! I am close to considering buying two very fine examples of triple calen...

I really have done a bargain and the cost was low, comparatively. Now it has been serviced at a cost of SEK 2,800 (400 U.S. dollars) and now it works perfectly. I've seen a couple of these for sale after I bought mine, but these have not been in the same ...

Totally agree

A great layout, and nice sunburst dial. The only issue perhaps is that from a distance, the logo looks like Harley Davidson ! Dean
