Roger Dubuis's story

Founded in 1995, the manufacturing structure of ROGER DUBUIS was fully in place by 1999. The first building was inaugurated in Meyrin in 2001. Manufacturing independence was achieved in 2003 with its own production of balance-and-spring regulating organs. In 2005, a second building served to regroup the 500 employees in a single 14,500 square-metre site. The 120 machines of its micromechanical engineering workshops produce the entire range of parts for the proprietary ROGER DUBUIS movements. This fully verticalised and state-of-the-art industrialisation brilliantly endorses the company’s status as an authentic Manufacture.

April 2006 Six new movements were presented at Geneva’s Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH), three of them for the first time. They were fitted mainly in the latest Excalibur models, one of the brand’s flagship collections, and bring the number of movements manufactured to 28, each of which is hallmarked with the Poinçon de Genève, sometimes referred to as the Geneva Seal.

2007 An exhibition organised at the SIHH displayed all 28 movements, thereby demonstrating the brand’s exceptional heritage.

2008 Launch of the Kingsquare collection. In August 2008, ROGER DUBUIS joins the Richemont luxury group.

2009 The rigorous standards of the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark, to which all the brand's movements are already submitted, are complemented since 2009 by operating tests performed by recognised watchmaking laboratories. Furthermore, as of 2010, all new ROGER DUBUIS calibres will be systematically submitted to the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute) for chronometer certification, and the entire Roger Dubuis movement range will be progressively COSC-certified by 2012.
