The Anatomy of
MODERN SKELETON WATCHES

Founded in Geneva, Switzerland in 1995, Roger Dubuis is the heir to the Geneva style, which places great importance on aesthetics.
One proof of this is that all movements since 1999 have been awarded the Hallmark of Geneva.
At the same time, we understand that tradition is passed down through innovation, and have expressed a new era with bold designs.
It was Roger Dubuis who revolutionized the skeleton watch, which was previously merely a decorative craft, into a modern design.
The skeleton structure with its delicate frame is avant-garde and sporty.
This first automatic watch combined rationality and beauty to a high level that other companies could not easily imitate.
