Suzhou & DuoLing

I’m a huge fan of Suzhou watches. The brand is very well represented in my collection already, but once in a while another comes along that I can’t resist.









The code under the balance, BA ZSZ, suggests that it is an early Suzhou tongji movement.

DuoLing watches aren’t seen as often. It was Suzhou Watch Factory’s grade 3 brand.







Under the balance: ZSZ-17-HA. Overlapping the 17 is another mark which looks like a letter C. This may have been Suzhou Watch Factory’s way to mark grade 3 movements.
