圖錄文章
• Roger Dubuis created his eponymous brand at a time where “going independent” wasn’t something watchmakers usually did.
• Dubuis started his career in the late 1950s in the after-sales department of Longines. Repairing the iconic 13ZN chronograph caliber was an eye opener for him into the wonderful world of chronographs. He then left Longines for Patek Philippe where he worked as a constructor and a master watchmaker in the complications department. He left Patek Philippe after 14 years and set up his own repair atelier in Geneva in 1980, even creating movements for other brands. However, it was not until the mid-1990s that he created his own brand.
• Greatly inspired by his time at Patek Philippe and the brand’s beautiful timepieces, Dubuis launched two models, the round, classical Hommage and the quirkier Sympathie with its unusual case design.
• The present Sympathie chronograph features a movement based on the Lemania 2310 ébauche - just like the famed Patek Philippe reference 5070. The movement proudly displays the Geneva seal - an exceptional feat for a small, at the time, independent watchmaker. On top of that, it was certified by the Besançon Observatory. Initially intended as a limited edition of 28 pieces, not all of the pieces were completed, rendering this example extremely rare. Based on our research, only 6 pieces in pink gold and 6 pieces in white gold were completed.
• This watch takes us back to a time, when now-household names such as F.P. Journe or Roger Smith were experimenting, producing their very first prototypes, pushing the boundaries of watchmaking and re-defining the meaning of contemporary watchmaking. Industry veterans will look back at this golden period of horology as the cradle of independent watchmaking, with doses of both pride and nostalgia.
• This two-register chronograph features an 18K pink gold case, and a spectacular, luminous, black glossy sector dial with contrasting sub-dials. With an utterly phenomenal presence on any size wrist, the S37 is one of the “OGs” of independent watchmaking, an inspiration for the rise and dominance of the independents we are experiencing today.
