With the new «1858 Collection» range by CATOREX, everyone will find something to please among the 39 new and original models which launch the Breuleux watch-making brand in the Swiss Jura. This new «1858 Collection» range illustrates what CATOREX – a brand founded precisely in 1858 and whose pocket watches that initiated a long tradition of quality and reliability and which today also adorn the most demanding wrists – is all about.

The round shape of the case, carries on the spirit of the CATOREX pocket watch in the various models of the «1858 Collection» wrist watches. The models, of a diameter of 40 or 42mm, are of such a size as to suit them for male as well as female wrists.

The watches of the «1858 Collection» range, manufactured entirely in Les Breuleux (Switzerland), are all powered by Swiss movements, have steel cases and are equipped with sapphire glasses. A crowned « C » discreetly integrated into the winder is what all the models have in common. The majority of them also have a transparent back revealing the decorated movement.
The prices, according to model, range from 490 to 1750 francs.

Catorex trains the spotlight on its prestigious past with the C'Vintage collection whose classic lines take inspiration from a 1960s model. References to tradition continue in the form of the authentic vintage Schild AS 2063 movement that drives each one. Fully reconditioned and decorated, this rare calibre keeps time with great regularity thanks to a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour.

. 




















The transparent case back discreetly draws attention to this unique attribute. The round case and pointed hands have prompted Catorex to propose four versions of the dial: blue, copper, anthracite and silver.
Today, as in the past, the Swiss Jura brand signs each of its models with a "C" set discreetly on the winding crown. 499-piece limited series.
