Richards Zeger Paris Dual-Time "YingYang" from 1970s

The Richards Zeger brand emerged in 1971 in jewelry manufacture, the founders decided to enhance their business exploits, and the obvious thing to do was to tilt towards watchmaking. Richards Zeger had an annual production rate of 25,000 watches at that time. After this, the brand experienced a decline. In 2011, Bernard Richards, the founder’s son as well as the owner of the BRM (Bernard Richard Manufacture) watch brand decided to re-establish the brand.

Some of this early french watches feature fun and exuberant design, like this beautiful YingYang dual-time watch made in gold-plated brass that features two french movements inside, calibers AS1977 that where used for some entry level watches in the 1970s and 1980s.
