Alfred Dunhill by Jorg Hysek – Vintage 1988 Swiss Quartz Watch, 34mm, Sapphire Crystal, Original Box & Papers, Fully Serviced

Alfred Dunhill by Jorg Hysek — A Statement in Swiss Elegance

If you know watches, you’ll know the name Jorg Hysek. A design visionary and winner of the Grand Prix de Genève in 1984 for a Vacheron Constantin bracelet, Hysek has shaped the look and feel of many top-tier brands. When he turned his attention to Alfred Dunhill, the result was something special.

This Dunhill watch, designed by Hysek, blends Swiss precision with elegant, unmistakable styling. With its 34mm stainless steel case (42mm lug-to-lug), luminous hands, black dial, and silver raised Arabic numerals, it has the kind of quiet wrist presence that speaks volumes. The dial is sharp, balanced, and extremely wearable, with a date window at six o'clock.

Part of the Richemont Group alongside Cartier, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and IWC, Dunhill watches were once priced on par with Rolex and Cartier in the early 1980s. Today, they offer outstanding value—and growing recognition. Many Dunhill pieces house movements by JLC or Cartier, making them a true sleeper hit for collectors.

This particular watch is in superb condition. Fully serviced and pressure tested in late 2024 with a fresh battery, it’s ready to wear. It comes with the original signed strap, buckle, crown, and box (which shows average wear). The watch is completely authentic and has spent most of its life safely stored.

A quick tip for quartz lovers: when not in use, pull out the crown to stop the hands and preserve the movement.

This isn’t the cheapest Dunhill on the market—and for good reason. It’s fully serviced, original, and properly maintained. If you're tempted by online auctions with mystery watches, unserviced internals, or unknown provenance, proceed carefully. You wouldn’t buy a car without papers—why risk it with a timepiece?

All our watches go through a rigorous 48-hour inspection before shipping. Everything is checked, tested, cleaned, and prepared for its new owner.

On the wrist, this watch is a conversation starter—elegant, confident, and rich with history. Whether you're a seasoned collector or looking for something quietly spectacular, this is a piece that will impress now and last for generations.
