Swiss watchmaker Brellum has unveiled its latest timepiece, the Duobox 39 TC Moonphase Chronometer. This new addition to the Duobox collection brings together traditional watchmaking and complex mechanical complications. The watch features a 39mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 15.2mm and a water resistance of 100 meters. The Duobox 39 TC Moonphase Chronometer is a limited edition of 46 pieces, priced at 3,600 Swiss francs before tax.
The watch boasts a blue sunburst dial with a multi-layered construction, providing depth to the various indications. The dial features Roman numerals and diamond-cut hands, with a Super-LumiNova treatment for improved readability in the dark. The chronograph counters are positioned at 12 and 6 o'clock, with the 12-hour counter sharing space with a moon phase display. The peripheral date display is swept by a central hand, while the 9 o'clock sub-dial shows the small seconds and day/night indicator.
The Duobox 39 TC Moonphase Chronometer is powered by the automatic Brellum BR-751 caliber, based on the Valjoux 7751. This movement combines a mechanical chronograph with a complete calendar and moon phase display. The caliber operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and has a 46-hour power reserve. The movement features a Glucydur balance and Nivarox-type Anachron spiral, with a stop-second function for precise time setting.
Brellum, founded by fourth-generation watchmaker Sébastien Muller, has been cultivating a unique approach to watchmaking since 2016. The brand is known for its Duobox collection and has now pushed the boundaries with the Duobox 39 TC Moonphase Chronometer. The watch's case is crafted from 316L stainless steel, with a satin and polished finish. The watch comes with two interchangeable straps: a stainless steel bracelet and a handcrafted calfskin leather strap.
The Duobox 39 TC Moonphase Chronometer's movement features a perlage, Geneva stripes, and blued screws. The oscillating weight is made of 4N material and features a moon-inspired design. Each rotor is individually numbered, and the watch has a COSC certification, attesting to its precision and quality. The brand's limited production run of 299 watches per year adds to the exclusivity of this timepiece.
The Duobox 39 TC Moonphase Chronometer is aimed at collectors who appreciate independent watchmaking. The watch's price of 3,600 Swiss francs before tax may vary depending on the country of delivery and applicable taxes. The watch is available exclusively on Brellum's official website, brellum.swiss, without a traditional distribution network.
With its advanced complications and limited production run, the Duobox 39 TC Moonphase Chronometer is a unique addition to the world of watchmaking. The watch's combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern mechanical complications makes it a standout piece in the Duobox collection.
