Eric-Alfred Perrenoud (1911-1988) was the final general manager of Doxa through its merger into Synchron and oversaw the workers' and Nardin-Ducommun funds until his death.

In December 1945, Eric-Alfred Perrenoud, then living in Le Locle, joined the workers' fund of the Doxa Watch Factory as secretary/treasurer. He was given power of attorney for the factory itself under Jacques-André Nardin in January 1948.

In 1951, following the death of Jacques-André Nardin, Perrenoud was made commercial director of Doxa. He served under general manager Edouard-Christian Jenny who died two years later. He remained in this position under Emile-Albert Jauslin and was one of the last remaining managers of Doxa to have known the Ducommun and Nardin family management following Joslin's death in 1964.
