Lebois & Co Heritage Chronograph 324.406 - 2024
Lebois & Co Heritage Chronograph 324.406
Lebois & Co was founded in 1934 by renowned Dodane watchmaking family, until it unfortunately fell victim to the quartz crisis like so many others brands of the time. But the beauty of these pieces, specifically those of the mid-century, were discovered by the van Wijlick family, whom also own Airan, who purchased the name and resurrected it in 2014, beginning the journey of restoring the brand to its former glory.
The Heritage Chronograph was released in 2021, with this 324.406 version coming 3 years later, and is perhaps our favourite design to date. It features a beautifully proportioned 39mm case in steel, with a 47.35mm lug-to-lug length and a 13.9mm thickness. Those proportions are slightly misleading, though, as the case itself is quite thin with the heavily domed crystal making up 3.5mm's of that overall height, so it wears very nicely on the wrist with its very slim brushed mid-case.
Within this case lies a deep black dial inspired by two of their references from the 40's, though much simplified. The printing is in a rose gilt-tone, with matching hands, and lovely applied Breguet numerals. Powering it is the La Joux-Perret LC-450 manual wind chronograph, with a nice level of decoration, and a very healthy 60-hour power reserve.
It's finished off with a lovely cognac leather strap, with highly detailed Lebois & Co buckle that suits the aesthetic to a tee.
This particular piece was sold in 2024, and presents in TZ 'Near Mint' condition, with only the very lightest hints of use on the case. Please see images for full condition details.
Strap shows only minor creasing and some light marks from being worn sparingly.
Remains under manufacturers warranty until May 2026. Keeping COSC time dial-up on a timegrapher, and all fucntions operating as they should.
Comes with outer box, inner box, inner case, warranty card, OEM buckle, and booklet.
RRP is €3,075, save big on this near mint example.
