About Dubey&Schaldenbrand

Georges Dubey
Born in the cradle of Swiss watchmaking, Georges Dubey loved mechanics from an early age. He dedicated his entire life to his sole passion – watchmaking. His love and devotion for his work, coupled with an unlimited talent and desire to reach new heights of perfection, made him a wellknown master watchmaker and a prominent profes- sor at the famous watchmaking school, the Technicum, in La Chaux-de-Fonds.

He strived continuously towards ultimate perfection and at the same time to make his invention available, affordable, reliable and consequently more useful. This search for perfection came to epitomise the company and is its credo still today. Among his many creations, Georges Dubey invented the ingenious "Index Mobile".

Rene Schaldenbrand
Equally experienced and well known in the watch industry of La Chaux-de-Fonds, René Schaldenbrand saw the great economic potential that he and his friend and now partner, Georges Dubey, were facing. In March 1946 the first few hundred pieces went into production with the new brand name, Dubey & Schaldenbrand.
