After 14 years of developing complications in Geneva for Patek Philippe, Roger Dubuis started his own atelier in 1980. He began his career at Longines in the late 1950s. For several years, he accepted commissions to create new complications for well-known brands. Dubuis teamed up with Carlos Dias, a designer for Franck Muller, to introduce the brand. Established in 1995, the Roger Dubuis Manufacture is located in Geneva. The company debuted its first in-house designed and developed watches in 1999, following four years of development.
