Some Best Watches are not made in Swiss but Geneva

A relatively new player in watchmaking, Roger Dubuis, over the past two years show an aggressive approach to watchmaking while most of his peers walked with caution due to the maturation of the West and the slowdown in the global economy. Earlier this year, over a cup of tea, and CEO Jean-Marc said Pontroué Enjoy it is part of the DNA of the brand.

Roger Dubuis was launched in 1995, making it one of the youngest actors in the Swiss watch industry, which is about 200 years. How to travel so far?

I would say that our company has experienced three major phases. It was launched in 1995. The baby is born. We supported the Richemont Group in 2008, when approached adolescence. And about 20 years of existence, we enter adulthood. There is a certain maturity that is to come.

Certainly, we are young. It is a very young industry horologerie. You can be young when you're in the fashion industry. As the characters come and go in this segment. But we do not live in style. We live in because we have a very strong technical content, which is added to the design. But first, you need technology. If you do not have the engine, you will not be able to watch. And it normally takes a few years to accumulate.

We were lucky, the vision of Mr. (Roger) Dubuis from the first day, and it is always with us in society. He believes complications. He believes in Geneva Hallmark. You know that all our products are of the Geneva Seal. And we are the only company in the world, all of our products 100% seal in Geneva. So if it is good (watch), or a man or a double tourbillon, price or income of diamond studded, all are certified Geneva Seal. What is the origin of the report, because we are not in Switzerland, in Geneva we did. Many companies are behind Swiss Made. We do not.

I was not aware of such a crucial difference between Geneva and Switzerland was made.

Oh yes. We need 40% more time to make every move that would take if we made the same movements as Geneva. As we polish all the parts by hand. It has some of the benefits to the customer, such as Final power reserve, water resistance, and also the difference between the show and, finally, that the products are not Hallmark of Geneva. In addition, we can not lie to our origins. We need all of our employees and headquarters in Geneva. Our head office is located in the center of Geneva, and if it had been 10 km on each side, we would not have Hallmark of Geneva. Again, I want to mention, we're not Swiss, Geneva did.

What separates the Roger Dubuis watch anything else?

I would say that we are one of the absolute in the watch industry. Our average price is around € 25,000. We also have a limited retailers. We are only 170 points of sale everywhere in the world. Many other watchmakers which are unique in their own rights is at least 500-800 outlets. Just to give you an idea, some watchmakers to the mass market can go up to 50,000 points of sale.

In India, we have two offices, each in Delhi and Mumbai. Do we want more? Well, we do not want to grow next three to five years, more outlets. We want to stay in the historic partners and we want to keep the world's major cities. We are not supposed to be in all the cities that can drive our brand, we want to limit as much as possible the distribution of, because we need to find qualified people who can sell these high-end pieces. We do not sell replica watches. We sell a piece of genius that happens to tell time.

And that you need people really qualified to tell the customer why pay up to see it.

So back to the question of what makes Roger Dubuis is different from our competitors, well, we are very well-paid, we are very selective in our approach to the distribution of our products, and we are one of the few brands with strong technical content of design is not normal. Today, if you see the Haute Horlogerie brands, they are all classic, and they are all men. Roger Dubuis believes a stronger technical content and design are identified.

And of course we have the Geneva Seal certification.

And all of these factors have enabled us to be in the market. We do not have a separate brand. There are 700 brands in the industry, and if you want to establish yourself as a brand and not just 701th, you have to give some of the technical issues that are different than the others. It is your identity.
So we have the technical content is also supported by the Geneva Seal, we have a model that is slightly exaggerated to make a strong distinctive from the competition.

In 2008, the Richemont Group acquired a majority stake in Roger Dubuis. And Richemont owns about a dozen luxury watchmakers. Is this the effect is not making any difference?

I would say that there was a twofold effect. One might be interested in a large group when it comes to retail, communications centralizing budgets, negotiating the best places in the world of retail, you name it. And two, when it comes to quality, luxury watches, it is one of the world's most difficult to approach. Why? Since you spend a lot of money off the watch. And the first thing you expect is that it works. And at the same time, the haute Horlogerie complications more you add, the more likely it will not work at all.

If you want to buy a watch safely, you can buy a quartz two years. That you are sure is, and if it's not, throw it away and buy a new one, because it does not cost you anything (as opposed to a mechanical watch).

Richemont is a very large value, and updates the processes in industry. So all 31 of our models, we do to ourselves. And none of Roger Dubuis movements found in other shows, which is different than the general practice in the industry where watchmakers distribute the engine.

In the future, the field is divided into brands that buy parts and manufacture parts. We believe the future of luxury watch brands is that manufacture parts.
Richemont has given us the opportunity to re-industrialization of the 31 meter with us.

Now, there is a large pressure group? Yes. But it makes sense. If they buy the Roger Dubuis brand they have expectations. Then, of course, have to do.

Swiss watchmaking goes high tech

Walking through one of the factories of Rolex Replica, I can not help but be amazed at the large number of manufacturing, processing and assembly of the research is to create a watch. It feels like I was in another car factory, with high-tech equipment and dedicated workers who take Centrestage. Rolex employs over 6,000 people in Switzerland alone, so it is an intrinsic part of the Swiss economy. It is also a watch brand is remembered like no other brand. To get yourself a Rolex watch prestige in the eyes of greedy neighbors.

We were a group of select few had the opportunity to visit three of the four sites Rolex in Geneva. Sandwich Sunny in the morning with a touch of autumn is coming around the interpretation of the long journey ahead. This was the first time one of Rolex Indian journalists invite their factories, and since it is like any other luxury brand watches Swiss like to keep secret his work, this trip was something that fills us all with a sense of anticipation and excitement.

The world of Rolex UK at four locations: the global headquarters of Acacias, making movements in Bienne, casting gold bracelets and cases, les Ouates and creating a plan and set the dials in Chêne-jewel Bourg. Our first stop was at Acacias, where the distinctive green brand logo stands out among the other surrounding buildings. Acacias also where to put the final assembly of these watches takes place. Some of the watches come from the other four locations and trained employees assemble the pieces to create a password, then subjected to rigorous testing of water resistance. After all Oyster watches taken action against one of the best known in the world? I was hoping to see some of the machines do the work in an assembly-style controller, but I was pleasantly surprised by the presence of workers at all stages of the process. This trend of robotics are used only when absolutely necessary, is followed in all areas of Rolex. As far as possible, people use to create their replica watches, and only come in testing machines, alloy, transport and other mechanical functions. Quick hands and agile pieces falling into place. A twist here, a brush and the final product ready to be tested, boxed and shipped to retailers worldwide. Even placing a handmade box, so that you will know that your watch someone's attention.

The next stop was the Plan-les-Ouates, when all he saw, or choose to view the gold! This site hosts a foundry when Rolex create own materials as Everose and other alloys. Ovens hot drops of liquid gold poured down enough. Men Butch hammering in creating gold bars or logs sheets and then cut case bracelet links. Again, the man's hand touched all aspects of the process. Moreover because a large amount of research to create the alloy. Where else can you see a side stand a PhD in Chemistry or sit next material scientist from melting? More like a vision of steroids lab young watchmaker atelier picturesque, this place was by far one of the most interesting. Grapes grow on vines on the scene helped add to the charm too.

But, of course, the highlight of my trip was the visit to Chêne-Bourg, Rolex brand created, and the process of jewel on the entire property. This year at Baselworld, we move to the new line Cosmograph Daytona gemset rainbow. Here, I have to see the gemsetters work on it, but with the precision and commitment of the Rolex name. Edited sapphires, diamonds, rubies and other precious stones using different criteria and in perfect order and adjust the dial. The selection process can be automated, but the site can only be done by hand to produce the desired effect. "Oohs" and "Aahs" toured the group as we watched the smooth model gemsetter the dial to adjust the brilliant baguettes. Highly qualified and well-trained and well-trained employees Rolex is the brand that it is today.

The focus on people extends the brand in other areas as well. Aside from the Rolex Learning Center at EPFL when students together in the fluid space learned from experience, the Rolex Awards for Enterprise are another important extension of the brand. Since 1976, the Rolex Awards for people around the world for companies in various fields, with a focus on helping society as a whole. Each award is given to companies, whether new or ongoing project review by a panel of leadership potential impact and practicality. People in the areas of Applied Technology, cultural heritage, the environment, Exploration and Discovery and Science and apply for Health, and the figures show that the number of participants to increase exponentially in recent years. Every two years, the awards, and this year, which will be held in India. So watch lovers and humanists alike something to look forward in November. Rolex Awards provides grants of 100,000 Swiss francs for each of the selected five Nobel. The presentation will also get to work on the project with past winners and jurors, to help you reach your goal. It extends Rolex philosophy of creating stories through everything he does.

Tech Tock: Cartier, the luxury of the crisis, and ID Two clock concept

Everyone loves the stories and history of luxury base is remarkably constant: crafts, return the preservation of traditional knowledge, continuity in the method, if possible, for decades (When he gets older, c ' is even better) If you have a luxury brand you mess with this story definition at their own risk. This is true for all luxury brands, but personally I think it is mostly for luxury watchmakers. The strand is that the hand of man working at a scale almost supernatural tiny wonders of skills. In what seems at his best as a miniature universe for centuries, the magic of the watch was to comment on brass, steel and jewelry used as storage for gear, and they take small pieces of art that seemed to even the pulse of the universe itself.

Burst quartz replica watches in this elegant air like a bull in a china shop, but the truth is, until 1969, when Seiko was the first quartz clock for sale on Christmas Day had more high-tech watch has been for years. Post-quartz, mechanical watches is kept alive by re-imagining themselves regardless executed a set of luxury even if it is a business, the cynic will more than respect, truth, a disproportionate number stores of luxury watches is always the appointment of the amount of hand assembly and hand finishing, which is a true high-end clock is impressive, and the techniques are often those who like a watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet, whose clients are people like Marie Antoinette would have immediately recognized.

That is why for concept Cartier replica watches are inspiring and disturbing.

How can you make the most accurate mechanical clock from a blank sheet of paper: Now, ID and the ID One concept watch two following questions Cartier crack development team (led by Carole Forestier remarkable) is a simple question? To understand how they came up with the answers she made id is a two-time measure and nothing less than himself understood.

A watch or clock is essentially a simple thing. It is a word oscillator, a pendulum, which suggests a number of times per second. This is a power supply that the pendulum a push, so it does not vibrate to stop. It's a funny thing called inhibition into account both the number of beats, and provides the impetus for a time, and there are gears that turn the hands display the time.

For this to work, you need an oscillator that is always hit exactly the same number of times per second, no matter what. Maintain an ideal would have the same rate regardless of fluctuations in the power supply, temperature, air pressure, magnetic fields or other disturbing influences. A pendulum works very well for some reason not even understand simple but important: gravity always tried to come up with a force exactly proportional to how much you push to relax. This means that when there are power fluctuations, a pendulum is still shut.

Now, this is all theory, and the theory is fine, but what happened in reality, not so easy. Changing the length of the pendulum rod when the temperature changes; watch with this through the use of special alloys, temperature invariant vibration from external sources, a shuttle disrupt the rate of treaties (. A is the so- called great, logically, Invar) watchmakers addresses the problem of physical their clocks isolated from the outside world, often built underground, temperature controlled room on a solid foundation. Changes in air pressure, the influence of exchange rate could drag a pendulum clock set their watch in the huge vacuum cylinder.

The results were good. Damn Good. The best clocks has never been long forgotten memory Shortt clocks and grandchildren Synchrome, swung in a pendulum with Invar 14 pounds inside a vacuum tank copper. Built between 1920-1940, they were almost incredibly precise, were the best with an accuracy of about one second every 12 years.

Now the problem is of course that one. Shortt no clock on your wrist The big difference is that the clock can not be physically isolated and immobilized. A pendulum in a wristwatch is a stupid idea obviously (at least, dear reader, I hope it is clear), watchmakers have therefore, in the last centuries, uses a circular equilibrium. Inhibition of the balance is a shock, and a helical spring (spiral or equilibrium), which is fixed to the hub of the scale represents the force of gravity. As a mathematically perfect spring does not have exactly the same weight, that is to push as hard as it has grown, and with the mass balance, make a natural resonant frequency of the oscillator, clock, in theory, should keep time and best grandfather clock.

Ah, the theory, we hardly knew you. Shaken by the shock, affected by gravity, and the balance to the difference of gravity vulnerable to fluctuations in the strength of the temperature, magnetism, aging and thousands of other natural disasters of the clock is the legacy of poor show even the best mechanical wrist watch is a damn fine specimen indeed, if it can hold both considered in a few seconds per day. So this is the problem: how do you get your wrist? And how should we try to do an identity crisis in the watch?

Lewis admitted that when she suffered from physical problems during adolescence, had been destroyed so that anyone else, and never thought about starting your career in golf.

"That was the moment, I mean, I thought I would never play golf again. Now, 10 years later, I'm here to win the player of the year. "

The road to success was probably more rock than most of their fans and admirers think, but Lewis is quick to point out that it took a stick right after, she was free of her corset.

"I think the reason I played golf, that's when I got out of my corset. I think I do more both sports when he left the corset is why I would leave the key "Lewis shared.

Today, having a vintage watch on the wrist has become a status symbol in Hollywood caste to which the possession of a Gulfstream not used. In a world where the past flies iPhone disposable in radios, each year, more players can see antique replica watches uk as pieces of history, combining expertise, value and undeniable charm men (some coveted collectibles were popularized by James Bond, Steve McQueen and Paul Newman).

At the top of the list are sporting Rolex Vintage Collection dress and Patek Philippi, some of which are beyond the real estate and stocks as investments in recent years. A large stainless steel Rolex chronograph in 1942 sold at auction for $ 1.16 million in 2011. Tickers prices even more recent vintage drawing high: Rare 18K pink gold Patek, dating from 1997 auction only scored $ 452,000 in June.

Rolex is the largest brand of mechanical watches (sold 1 million watches a year), was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1915 by the watchmaker Hans Wilsdorf and importer, is now owned by the Foundation Wilsdorf. Under Swiss law, the Foundation does not even have to publish detailed annual accounts, but installation adds to the mystique of the brand and its stability. Nobody expects the Rolex change much. This is the "widows and orphans" investment in the world of watchmaking. Its appearance is the same as the non-working propeller Submariner 1973 Roger Moore wore in Live and Let Die - the movement was removed and replaced by small circular screws that Moore could cut through the ropes - sold for $ 231,800 in Christie in November 2011.

Only a strong competition in the market for vintage Rolex, Patek, has a more glorious history. The brand was founded in 1839 in Geneva, and the first engineering models keyless winding finely chiseled by hand and parameters. "Its business model is based on the most exclusive watches and fine craft intelligent front sports models," says Josh Briest Philippe Watches of Beverly Hills, whose clients include Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock.

HISTORY: Don Cheadle: Man of the Hour

Among the top watch collectors Hollywood include Eric Clapton, Adam Levine, Charlie Sheen (which instructs the advice of his agent Robert Maron private shows, made him a co-executive producer of anger management) and Orlando Bloom (including my Rolex has been the target of thieves Bling Ring in 2009). Singer John Mayer is said to have one of the world's largest collections of Rolex Daytona (right emblematic of pilots) and writes a column for casual Hodinkee a control site watch industry gathering age. Mayer - says Ken Jacobs, owner of Melrose Avenue wants to buy a watch - "is so advanced, it is to be a collector of baseball cards."

Actresses and executives are just as likely to jump in collecting vintage, Ellen DeGeneres Jennifer Aniston. "The whole" I'm wearing the watch for my boyfriend look is fashionable, making collection of vintage watches very favorable for the buyer notified of women, "said Briest." Old Art Deco clocks ornamental and stylistic elements inherent in time are also considered desirable. "Briest UTA partner Tracey Jacobs cites as an avid collector who has dozens of vintage pieces Rolex and Patek Philippe.

Many vintage models achieve iconic Old Hollywood style, and has captured wearing a appears to be a dependency. Ken Jacobs provides vintage Rolex as the greatest of his tent. "Clocks" actor "were nicknamed by collectors and not the names given by Rolex 's popularity Number one is a Paul Newman, racing clock used to measure lap times , the number two is the Steve McQueen Explorer in the price range of $ 15,000 to 20,000, and the third is a Submariner James Bond Sean Connery wore in Dr. No which can sell for any where from $ 15,000 to $ 50,000. "

Jeffrey Hess Jewelers has Old Fort Lauderdale, Florida, handles the old site shows Hess Fine Arts and is the author of Rolex: The unauthorized story. Hess cites two reasons for the popularity of the brand Rolex. "Basically, they are indestructible. 20 years in the 70s, were at the forefront of watch design, and have a lot of variations that collectors love. Finally, they changed their designs over the years, making obsolete the old material collection and suddenly in the eyes of many people. '

HISTORY: UTA David Park: The Watch Whisperer

What is the cost of buying a vintage Rolex? According to Hess, "You can buy a ticket at 1980 GMT Master if in poor condition, restore, for $ 2,000 to $ 3,000, but some versions have the box and papers are near mint can cost more than $ 10,000 or $ 20,000. "Restoration can be problematic:. The parts can be scarce, and the process itself can reduce the value of the watch "This is a hotly contested discussion among collectors," says Hess. "Many believe that the watch is not affordable unless 100 percent original , but a good 80 percent of pre-1980 watches have a role or two that has been taken from another Rolex Rolex or even can not be. " The end result: you will pay less for a Rolex restored, but take a hit in the long-term value. "The clock is always collected, just do not expect a higher return on investment," says Hess.

With Patek Philippe Hess advise buying the best you can afford. "Although this is an entry level Patek Philippe, probably hold their value better than any other watch on the planet." He also cites pre-Cartier 60 years as a good bet for novice collectors.

A sample list Maron counselor vintage shop in Thousand Oaks, California, specializing in Rolex and Patek. His philosophy of losing a lot of money for a watch: "You can drive a Ferrari, but you can manage in a restaurant you can hang a beautiful Warhol on your wall, but do not sit on the wrist. During a business meeting or dinner at Madeo. "

HISTORY: What goes in a wristwatch $ 100,000

Maron clients include Mayer and Bloom, but that his client is probably the most faithful Sheen, a collector for more than a decade. "Sheen is an avid collector of vintage and modern recently Patek Philippe replica watches Complicated - his collection is world class," said Maron Two and a Half Men producer Mark Burg is also a collector is that the. reality star Rob Dyrdek. Maron adds that "Jennifer Aniston has a keen sense of the beautiful and modern vintage Rolex" and "Alec Baldwin and unique custom picks Bamford PVD Rolex watches" personalized London George Bamford.

Burg has about a dozen watches - all bought Pateks Maron. "He is very knowledgeable," says Burg. "Every time you buy one, he calls me and asks me if I want to sell it back to him for more money." Burg is the philosophy that if you buy the right watch, that will only increase in value, and he always listens to purchase Maron. "I was surprised when I started collecting, but I've learned to trust Him. Each watch told me to buy a year later, he called me and offered 20 to 25 percent more for it" confirms Maron. "Sold a Patek 5970G by Marcos $ 85,000 when he left around 2005. bought for $ 120,000 a year later. "

Maron credit for the upturn in the economy to generate interest. "We found that shoppers spend upperechelon new with cars, art and watches. You can pick up a Rolex Ref. 1655" Steve McQueen "for $ 4,500 to $ 6,000 10 years ago, and now sell for $ 15,000 to $ 20,000 . I sold an uncle in the business of technology Paul Newman Daytona 16 for $ 9000-16000 each during the period 1996-1999, totaling $ 190,000. He sold them to me 10 years later for $ 1.04 million. "Maron has 20 customers who bought as an investment when they received a bonus.

HISTORY: Tyler Florence makes the deadline

Hess has a saying for new collectors: "Make sure you buy or trust your dealer. Find two or three who trust you and stick to it, or buy at auction .. If you shop at Sotheby or Christie, 99 of 100 times, you'll be fine ", Briest said:" You buy the seller, as shown. many fake versions are Frankenstein and there that have been put together after the market. '

For all the hype and celebrity intrigue, vintage collection is down to the fact that brands rely make watches that stand the test of time. No wonder Hollywood players, accustomed to the vagaries of the box office, find time for something as dignified and sustainable as a clock tree.
