Visiting Dubois Dépraz at EPHJ
EPHJ Trade Show
Each year, companies and professions specializing in watchmaking, jewellery & microtechnologies meet in Geneva for the world’s largest high precision trade show
Dubois Dépraz calibres and modules, are made with the goal of providing mechanisms to the watchmaking industry as a hole, they are not produced or sold under their own name. They are the most successful and largest company to produce large volume complications to virtually any brands, with an industrial and proven approach. They both develop ideas for companies, as well as bring their own concepts to the market for brands to adopt. They have an infrastructure that allows them to develop and prototype new concepts, producing the components in house, followed by the assembly and testing processes all within their own multiple facilities.
New movements and modules
The DD 56000 diameter 32mm, thickness 5.6mm (including movement). A large date, perpetual calendar module.
One of the differentiating elements to this QP (perpetual calendar), is the programming correction set at 9 o’clock on the case side. To programme the mechanism there is a single pusher, pushing gently corrects one set of indications on the dial, pressing harder corrects a second set.
Two of a new generation of mechanical animations.
The two animations above are both linked with the seconds function of a movement and provide original interpretations of how a seconds hand can either be removed and replaced by discs providing numerous different patterns, or altering the conventional movement of a seconds hand to swing both clockwise and anti clockwise.
The D1700 minute repeater movement. 31.40mm in diameter and 3.3mm in thickness. Striking the hours, quarters and minutes on to gongs.
