Roger Dubuis. The company was founded in 1995 by Master Watchmaker Roger Dubuis and his partner Carlos Diaz. What began with just one employee has (since the introduction of a first collection in 1996 at the prestigious SIHH salon in Geneva) gradually evolved into a manufacture with close to 150 employees today. Roger Dubuis was born in 1940 in Vevey Switzerland and completed his studies at the Geneva Ecole dHorlogerie. After working for 14 years in the Patek Philippe complicated timepieces atelier in 1980 he became an independent watchmaker restoring antique collectors’ timepieces developing projects for some of the best Swiss watchmaking houses and pursuing research on what was to become the specialty of the company: retrograde indications. Today the brand offers several lines of watches with four of their own calibers and their own complications. Each model is limited to 28 examples all are certified as chronometers and the entire production bears the Poinçon de Genève. In 2002 Roger Dubuis moved into a brand-new state-of-the-art facility in Meyrin.
