If you love a comeback story (and who doesn’t) Roger Dubuis is a watchmaking house that’s probably already on your radar. Founded in 1995, the company has never been excessively weighed down by its own history, which left it free to innovate, and innovate it did –by the mid-2000s, Roger Dubuis had a huge manufactory in Geneva, dozens of in-house movements to its name, and a plethora of simple and complicated watches in a bewildering variety of designs.  There were also some connoisseurs, however, who were muttering the word “hubris” and with an eye towards clarifying the company’s identity (with perhaps one eye also on the adage that it is the slow and steady who win the race) Roger Dubuis has spent the last few years sharpening the focus of its collection and returning to some of the essentials that made cognoscenti fall in love with it in the first place.  (It doesn’t hurt that it’s also performed exhaustive analyses of movement performance, significantly re-engineering many of its watches to ensure their long-term reliability.)
