About Roger Dubuis
Roger Dubuis was founded in 1995 and, since then, has been injecting its DNA with resolutely new and bold genetic codes. Positioned on the cusp of haute horlogerie and adhering to its exacting and exclusive criteria, the brand established its head office in 2001 in Meyrin / Geneva, where two buildings housing ultra-modern industrial equipment were constructed for the Manufacture. In scarcely eleven years, the Manufacture has created its 28 complicated, often highly complicated, movements. While their technical characteristics require the most traditional horological savoir-faire, the production and manufacturing rely on cutting-edge expertise.

All Roger Dubuis movements bear the 'Poinçon de Genève' quality hallmark and, since 2003, have been equipped with the Manufacture's own balance-spring, positioning the brand's products at the very apex of prestige haute horlogerie in Switzerland.

Ten collections have been created since 1996, each a powerful personality of the brand's unique identity. An exuberant and original jewellery line was added to its portfolio in 2004. In search of a new lease of life, the Roger Dubuis Manufacture joined Richemont (one of the world's leading luxury goods groups) in 2008, becoming the ninth watch manufactory to join this very exclusive group. This is an extraordinarily favourable union for the 'enfant terrible' of Geneva's exclusive watchmakers as it will benefit from all the advantages that come from being a member of Richemont.
