An original alternative
Trademark registered in 1952 (to import Swiss watches) by Pierre and Robert FontAine, PIROFA was truly created in 1964 in Nantes. These two watchmaking enthusiasts, and salesmen at heart, will then assemble the best calibers and inexpensive cases of the moment, to make quality, reliable and very affordable watches. More than 2 million PIROFA will be sold. And it is one of them that I have the pleasure of wearing. This one is a watch with a digital display system, often nicknamed "jump hour". This style of watch was in vogue in the 60s/70s, with among others SICURA and LIP (with its famous Baschmakoff). My PIROFA is therefore vintage as desired. It is in very good condition, with its original elastic metal mesh bracelet. The precision of its manual caliber is average, but it surely requires a small revision. The dial is a very subtle blue with touches of black that look great. In short: a nice little watch. These old "jump hours" give you an original alternative (you don't see many on people's wrists) for a low cost. What more could you ask for?
