A conversation about passion, tradition and the future

BaselLive recently published an interview with our owner, Thomas Steinemann. Nicola Mathis visited us at our new premises in Muttenz and conducted an interview that offers surprising insights and conveys the passion that drives DuBois et fils.

In the interview, Thomas talks about the fascinating history of DuBois et fils, which began in Le Locle in 1751, and about his vision of carrying this long tradition into the future with fresh ideas. He gives a particularly impressive account of how Switzerland's oldest watch factory is becoming a centre of excellence for historical movements that is unrivalled anywhere in the world. This is about much more than just the art of watchmaking: it is about passion, preserving history, and the people behind every single movement.

This impressive interview shows how DuBois et fils has developed into the company it is today since its takeover in 2010, thanks to the vision of Thomas Steinemann.
