TRADITION, PASSION, INFINITY
As the oldest watch factory in Switzerland, we look back on a rich past. Since 1785, everything we do has revolved around exceptional timepieces – first as pocket watches and today on the wrist.
It is our passion to preserve the art of traditional Swiss mechanical movement manufacturing, to keep it alive and make it accessible to future generations. Join us on this journey. We create the beginning – you create infinity.

Oldest watch factory in Switzerland
In 1785, Philippe DuBois founded what is now Switzerland's oldest watch factory in Le Locle (CH). Since 2010, Thomas Steinemann has been at the helm of the company. With great flair, he repositioned the brand and led it into a modern age of tradition and digitalization.
DUBOIS HOUSE IN LE LOCLE
Where it all began.
In 1751, the DuBois family started producing watches at the premises of their home on Grand Rue in Le Locle. The house continues to be owned by the family to this day.
Come along and join us on a journey into the past.
