Roger Dubuis, Geneva

Roger Dubuis, Geneva

Roger Dubuis, a Swiss luxury watchmaker headquartered in Geneva, was established in 1995 by Roger Dubuis and Carlos Dias. Prior to this venture, Roger Dubuis had initiated his own workshop in 1980, following 14 years of honing his craft in Geneva, specializing in complications for Patek Philippe. During this period, he also accepted commissions to create new complications for prominent watch brands. Carlos Dias, who had been a designer for Franck Muller, eventually joined forces with Dubuis to launch their own brand.

In 1999, after four years of dedicated development, the company introduced its first collection of watches that were entirely conceived and crafted in-house. Notably, Roger Dubuis stands out as one of the few Swiss watchmakers that manufacture the majority of their caliber components internally. These Roger Dubuis calibers consist of numerous meticulously hand-finished components and are constructed from materials such as gold, diamonds, titanium, as well as innovative substances like carbon, ceramic, and cobalt. Most of their timepieces feature a skeleton design.

The Roger Dubuis watch lineup encompasses the Excalibur and Velvet collections, in addition to motorsport-themed watches developed in collaboration with Lamborghini, Squadra Corse, and Pirelli. Their partnership with motorsport companies commenced in 2017.

It's worth noting that Dubuis timepieces proudly bear the Poinçon de Genève, also known as the Hallmark of Geneva, a symbol of exceptional craftsmanship and quality.
