There are watch brands and there are watchmakers, many of which we see in the media every day. While some watch companies annual sales number in the thousands though, other watchmakers produce only a handful of watches, and their dedication to perfection endears them to an equally small group of connoisseurs.
Philippe Dufour falls into this category. A watchmakers watchmaker, he isolates himself in his native valley de Joux Switzerland, and is perfectly happy making only 25 watches every year, albeit 25 superlative ones.
Whether its his technical masterpieces like the Duality and the Grande and Petite Sonnerie, or his aptly named Simplicity, Dufours watches are renowned for their perfectly finished movements, and are horological pieces of art in the truest sense.
Here, we pay tribute to one of Dufours sold-out classics, the Simplicity, which sets the standard for watch movement finishing everywhere.
