Feast your senses upon the astounding craftsmanship of this Duboule timepiece. A superb stainless steel case has not only been given a lustrous mirror-like finishing from top to bottom, but also a flawless coin edged pattern along the bezel, crown, and back. Inside, the dial has been graced with a beautiful radiating guilloche pattern that shimmers in the light no matter what direction you turn the piece. Of course, the face is home to 4 separate functions that provide their own timekeeping information. Finally, the textured genuine leather strap has been specifically designed to compliment the intricate sheen of light that flashes across the dial as you wear it.

In 2006 the Duboule brand was acquired by Le Bonheur Groupe of Geneva Switzerland.  Le Bonheur Groupe is managed by industry veteran Peter Leastch, who served as the president of the US division of the Swiss Watch Federation for over 10 years. 

 Beginning in 2007, under Le Bonheur, each Duboule timepiece has been meticulously hand crafted to the most stringent of Swiss standards with incredible precision and the highest quality materials.

By the late 16^th century master watchmakers were distinguished by their diversity and pure imagination; the sky was the limit for style and function alike. Timepieces were often made inside of pendants and charms shaped into everything from human skulls to various animals like dogs, rabbits, and even fish. The more obscure the piece, the better. As the complexity of timepieces matured, the distinction between watches and other types of jewelry became more defined.

Then a jeweler and watchmaker by the name of Martin Duboule took signing to the next level when he added the phrase, "à Genève" underneath his name. This revolutionary decision was first presented on a skull watch made circa 1620. Martin was also known in his trade as a lapidary (precious stone engraver). This ability was well recognized when he created the earliest known Geneva watch decorated with champlevé enamel that now resides in Paris' Cluny museum.

Jean-Baptiste Duboule, Martin's son, soon became a master watchmaker and engraver in his own right. The astronomical fusee watch he made ca. 1680 now resides in the British museum and is claimed to be the finest piece ever made for its time.

Jean-Baptiste Duboule also would go on to revolutionize the fusee watch design. By the mid-17th century, watches operated with a mainspring made of either a length of catgut or chain. This spring, after the watch had been fully wound, will slowly wrap around a conical spiral as the timekeeper runs during the course of the day.

It is due to both father and son's immeasurable talents and contributions to the watchmaking world that we pay tribute. The plethora of beautiful timepieces that make up the Duboule collection are made with a perfect balance of precise craftsmanship and refined presence. So join us as we remember the brilliant watches of the past with these incredible timepieces of today.
