Paul Buhré has a great history, and this Rotograph has a wonderful specification including the power reserve indicator.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the movement production dates we can estimate that this watch was made circa 1955.

CONDITION

Paul Buhré is a brand that not many people have heard of.  It was dissolved in 1988, but the history goes back to 1815.  Maybe you are more familiar with Zodiac?  Paul Buhré owned that brand, as well as others including H. Moser & Cie and Jean Perrelet at various times.  with their own brand watches they competed with some of the finest, after being allowed to use Piaget movements in some ultra thin watches.  This Rotograph is not an ultra thin watch, but it is high specification.  The screw down case back makes claims of being waterproof, shockproof and anti magnetic.  The watch has an automatic movement with calendar, but also has a power reserve gauge at 9.  the movement is branded Paul Buhré, but is actually a 25 jewel Felsa 760 Permutator calibre.  It is nicely finished and working well, including the power reserve that is why the watch is called Rotograph (rotor being automatic, graph to show the power reserve).The stainless steel case has a flush fitting crown, as it doesn’t need manually winding (but you can).  The dial has faded a little, but is original.  The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
