I still have one... I think their site is still up and making some watches.

Dubey & Schaldenbrand was founded in 1946 by Georges Dubey and René Schaldenbrand. In 1995, Cinette Robert revived the company. She used a movement collection that she had amassed during the 1970s and early 1980s. Dubey & Schaldenbrand recases each mo
