Lebois & Co Sector Chronograph 324.442

The Lebois & Co Sector Chronograph 324.442 is a beautifully restrained chronograph that channels the elegance of mid-century watch design through a clean, highly legible sector-style dial. Crafted in stainless steel, the watch combines vintage-inspired proportions with refined modern finishing, creating a balanced aesthetic that feels timeless rather than trend-driven. The sector dial layout adds depth and structure, separating the minute track and chronograph registers with subtle contrast and crisp detailing. Paired with slim hands, applied markers, and classic pump pushers, the overall design captures the sophistication of vintage chronographs while remaining highly wearable today. Powered by a Swiss automatic chronograph movement, it delivers dependable performance with everyday practicality.

What makes the 324.442 stand out is its understated approach—it’s a chronograph that rewards closer inspection rather than demanding attention outright. The thoughtful dial architecture and restrained color palette give the watch an almost dress-chronograph versatility, allowing it to transition seamlessly between casual and formal settings. Combined with modern construction, a sapphire crystal, and carefully executed finishing, the Sector Chronograph appeals to collectors who appreciate nuanced design and independent watchmaking. It’s a piece that successfully blends heritage inspiration with contemporary refinement, offering vintage character without sacrificing modern comfort or reliability.

New

Early 2014, Lebois & Co owner Tom van Wijlick and his wife Eveline came across a captivating image of an exquisite vintage Swiss Made chronograph watch, auctioned by Christie’s. Intrigued by its beauty, they printed the picture and stuck it to their fridge. What followed was a deep-dive into the obscure brand and its heritage.

Established in 1934 by Raymond Dodane of the renowned Dodane watchmaking family, the brand fell dormant after the Quartz Crisis of the 1970s.

With the endorsement of the Dodane family, Lebois & Co experienced a renaissance, precisely eight decades after its inception. Now under new ownership, the brand is strategically positioned to perpetuate its legacy of crafting aesthetically pleasing and affordable luxury Swiss timepieces.

Grateful for the support of over 75 investors, Lebois & Co has successfully reclaimed its position on the wrists of watch enthusiasts around the world, methodically expanding its collection with innovative models.
