Hey all,

long time no post, too busy with job and other hobbies. Hope you are all well!

A relative inherited several Swiss automatic watches from brands like Epos, Büren, Du Bois, Rado and so on.
There is also a nice De Ville Prestige in there.
They have no deal with watches and I'm trying to help them out, but struggle myself to find lots of information on the lesser known brands.

Anyone knows if there is any discussions on and demand for Epos, Du Bois and the likes? Where could I find out more?
Most watches are in superb condition limited editions with box and papers, it's just that there are almost no comparable watches on sale.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
I did read up a bit and generally the brands have some sort of Swiss watchmaking tradition.

Can't find much about re-sale value and all.

Buren produced the first micro-rotor watches, and some of their early models were of excellent quality. I own, and have owned several, one of which is shown below.

Tony, Bubba, both of yours look very nice.

Those are the Buren in the collection.
From the papers its apparent that they are newer ones.

Yes, much more recent, and I am not familiar with them. But it appears to be a nice array!
