 Dreyfuss and Co 1980 Series Watch DLB00022/21 |
Dreyfuss & Co produce fine, hand-crafted time pieces based upon the original designs of Rene Dreyfuss, a Swiss watchmaker who started his first watch brand in 1925. His family have continued the tradition of high quality engineering and lovingly crafted detail to the present day, with Dreyfuss and Co watches now a name synonymous with traditional, quality watch-making skills.Rene Dreyfuss (not to be confused by pre-war motor racing legend Rene Dreyfus) based each of his designs around important events in his life. Drawing on his own experiences and emotions in this way lead to the production of several pieces imbued with a certain sensitivity and elegance, transmitted through the painstaking attention to detail and precision required to produce such mechanical wonders by hand. The 1890 range, for example, was inspired by the year of Dreyfuss’ own birth, with other collections commemorating his marriage, the marriage of his daughter and various landmarks of his watch-making business, to name but a few.
The Dreyfuss and Co 1980 watch pictured is from a collection to celebrate Dreyfuss’ 90th birthday, and both experts and casual admirers alike would agree that the quality and attention to detail of the 1980 range makes a befitting tribute to a man who dedicated so many years of his life to the art of horology. If you value classical elegance and subtle detailing over the flashy, brashness of some other luxury watch brands, then Dreyfuss watches may be just what you’re looking for. |
