Photos from DOXA Exhibition

[CH-dmath]

As mentioned in another thread a few days ago, today I visited the Musée d'Horlogerie du Locle where there is currently an exhibition about DOXA. I took some photos to share with you. I don't know the DOXA brand so I'm not exactly sure what's in the photos but hope they'll be of interest.

The museum is an old chateau on the outskirts of Le Locle. This is the exhibit shot from the hallway that separates this room from a VERY formal sitting room with a number of very old, very expensive (I assume) clocks.


I'm not sure what these are but they must be special because they were the only two watches in this case. I really like them whatever they are. :)


The sign in this case indicates that the watches are from 1930-1960. The text is in French.


This case is 1960-2000.


And this case is 1957-Present. Obviously, there is some overlap.


This skeleton watch looked interesting.


I love old promotional posters and this one is a beauty.


I apologize for the photography - the lighting was a challenge and no flashes allowed. I hope this gives the local DOXA fanatics a feel for the exhibit.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post your photos and descriptions. So very many of us will never make it to the exhibition, but you helped share it with us and it's much appreciated!

Doxa seems to have quite a bit of their history documented, despite the general feeling that there isn't much info about them available from back in the day.

A search of "Doxa" on ebay shows that over the decades, Doxa has been very prolific with their watch production. There must be hundreds of models....

I'm happy to be able to help out. It's a real privilege to live here for a few years -- mountains, watches, cheese. You'll know when it's time for us to leave Switzerland because you'll hear me kicking and screaming... :)
