At a glance
Identity and scope
Roger Dubuis is a Geneva fine-watchmaking manufacture within Richemont.
This guide treats that identity as the starting point. It does not transfer line-level history to an individual watch without matching reference evidence. 1
Historical position
The maison's official profile dates its founding by watchmaker Roger Dubuis and entrepreneur Carlos Dias to 1995.
The date and context belong to the event described, not automatically to every object bearing the name. 1
What the source establishes
The cited Roger Dubuis record is the evidence anchor used here for Roger Dubuis. Its documented scope is narrower than a complete corporate, calibre, or model archive.
Where the source speaks for the brand, its historical statements remain attributed rather than converted into independent verification. 1
Identify the exact watch
Record every visible dial signature, the complete case-back reference and serial markings, movement or module markings, dimensions, materials, and complications. Compare those details with a dated catalogue, manual, archive extract, or service document for the exact reference.
A shared logo or broadly similar case is an identification lead, not proof of age, originality, or authenticity. 1
Keep entities and dates separate
Use 1995 only in the documented context described above. Names may survive ownership changes, disappear and return, or refer to a founder, historic maker, product line, and present operator at different times.
Build an object-level chronology before making continuity claims. 1
Research a Roger Dubuis watch
Start with clear photographs of the dial, case back, crown, clasp, and movement where safely accessible. Search the exact markings in primary documentation and retain the document date and page or section.
For authentication, servicing, or valuation, use a qualified specialist and preserve provenance, invoices, and prior service records. 1
Independent research update
Roger Dubuis was founded in Geneva in 1995 and is a Richemont maison.
Richemont describes Roger Dubuis as an integrated Geneva manufacture producing in-house calibres.
Individual Roger Dubuis watches should be researched by exact reference and calibre documentation, including Geneva Seal claims where applicable. 1234
