Mauboussin Chronometre R.02369 Swiss Automatic 36mm Silver Green Dial Watch

About this watch

A distinctive Swiss-made automatic from the French jewellery house Mauboussin, reference R.02369, dating to the mid-to-late 1990s. The broad, concentrically ribbed steel bezel echoes the circular guilloché at the centre of the silver dial, which is framed by deep green chapter rings, applied gold-tone baton markers and slim gold-tone hands. The dial is signed MAUBOUSSIN and CHRONOMETRE, with a date window at 3 o'clock.

The approximately 36mm stainless steel case has sculpted curved lugs and a gold-tone crown, and the exhibition caseback (numbered No. 10195, marked Water Resistant 3 ATM, Stainless Steel, Swiss Made) shows the automatic movement and a rotor decorated with the Mauboussin monogram. It comes on a black textured leather strap, with the additional green strap pictured.

Brand heritage

Mauboussin is a Parisian jewellery house whose roots go back to 1827 and which became famous for its Art Deco jewellery under Georges Mauboussin. In 1990 Richard Mille became head of the watch division and director of the jewellery house, and in 1994 Mauboussin launched its own watch collection under Chairman Alain Mauboussin, managed by Mille, with the motto of combining Swiss technical expertise with French creativity.

The 1990s collection included sports models, automatic chronometers and slim evening watches. Mille later left to found his own brand, which makes these early Mauboussin watches an interesting chapter in his career.
