Heritage Chronograph – Swiss Made Luxury Rooted in Tradition

Lebois & Co represents a legacy of Swiss watchmaking excellence. Originally founded in 1934 by French watchmaker Raymond Dodane, the brand has been revitalized with a commitment to traditional craftsmanship and contemporary precision. Each watch is fully Swiss Made, combining historical design with modern mechanical innovation.

The Heritage Chronograph collection is inspired by the brand’s archival designs, reinterpreted for today’s collectors. It reflects classic watchmaking values while delivering modern reliability and performance. Adding a unique, modern dash of style, the Heritage Chronograph 324.497 pays homage to this golden era of mechanical precision.This model features an Ivory dial with multi-coloured scales. 

This timepiece pays tribute to the vintage Lebois & Co chronograph that inspired the brand’s revival—an original model auctioned at Christie’s Important Watches Auction (Lot 143, May 14, 2012). 

Reference 324.497 features a finely sandblasted dial adorned with multicolored scales—tachymeter, telemeter, and minute track—faithfully echoing the original design. Silver-polished subdials and contrasting blue and black hands offer depth and clarity. Housed in a classic step-bezel case and paired with a dark gray suede strap, this chronograph blends vintage character with modern craftsmanship.

Each Lebois & Co timepiece is accompanied by a secure digital certificate of authenticity in the form of a Non-Fungible Token (NFT). This encrypted digital passport is accessible via a secure tag delivered with your watch, providing a verified, immutable record of its provenance.

This digital mirror includes production specifications, original imagery, service history, warranty coverage, and proof of ownership. Designed to enhance both transparency and long-term value, the digital passport transfers seamlessly with ownership, ensuring that the integrity of each Lebois & Co watch is preserved over time.

Crafted in Switzerland to the highest standards, the Heritage Chronograph is a timepiece where tradition meets precision.

What we like: The nne that started it all. The Lebois Heritage Chronograph with the manual winding La Joux-Perret movement and the refined dial represents the best of Swiss watchmaking prowess. At 39mm, the 324.497 is one of the smaller wearable chronographs in the market and with the very limited production from Lebois & Co, a model that is for the collector of fine timepieces.
