Roger Dubuis Hommage La Placide: A Poetic Return to the Golden Era

Roger Dubuis has long been a legend in modern watchmaking. His journey began at Longines, followed by 14 formative years at Patek Philippe, before founding his eponymous brand in 1995. From the start, Dubuis created a distinct design language that married expressive aesthetics with serious horology. While the brand has since evolved into a more contemporary form, it has never lost its mechanical depth or integrity. Among collectors, few models are as revered as Dubuis’s early pieces — particularly those featuring his iconic double retrograde perpetual calendar.
