"The new model reminds of the 70s, a difficult time for the mechanical watch. At that time, the quartz flood came with an enormous price decline that caused many problems for companies and factories," says Thomas Steinemann, owner and CEO of DuBois et fils. Since 1785 DuBois et fils is producing watches in Switzerland, however the concept is completely new: watch lovers can purchase one of the various shareholder packages and therefore become part of the oldest watch factory in Switzerland. At the same time the shareholders have the privilege to buy the new watches which are limited to 99 pieces per model at a reduced price.




The watches limited to only 99 pieces per model are already highly desired.

Racing is something that you live, not just watch. We are not talking about racing as we call it today. We are talking about genuine racing. The spirit that led the late 19th century brilliant engineers in to create petrol-fuelled machines and race with them. A time when the pleasure to drive was stronger than any competition. The only focus was the track, the car and the sense of a job well done.
In the beginning, the rules of racing were completely different from what they are nowadays. Can you imagine that the main criterion to be able to participate was to have a vehicle with at least three wheels! Cars and mechanics were at the centre, no matter the number of wheels.

Technical improvements were the priority for all. An incredible challenge at that time which was
pure mechanics.

Our traditional motorsport line has been designed and created in this frame of mind. The Silverstone Vintage 30 is streamlined and aesthetically refined to achieve genuine aerodynamics and technology. GRAHAM wanted to get back to racing origins and put its watches at the centre of the track. As carefully as the cars were built, the Silverstone Vintage 30 watch has been created according to the codes of vintage racing and with respect for each part. The “Clous de Paris” decorated bezel, the thin shaped hands and the beige, brown and off-white colours have been elaborately added to the watch. They reflect the desire to preserve the race spirit and primary values.
The GRAHAM Silverstone Vintage 30 is in a non-competition race which rewards watch making savoir-faire and spectators. Get rid of your horse-drawn carriage and experience a true lap with GRAHAM.
