Roger Dubuis as a company is like the flamboyantly dressed artistic type that still carries himself with confidence among peers all wearing conservative suits. It, then, makes a lot of sense that purposely flamboyant watches are what works for the Swiss manufacture. When the Richemont Group purchased Roger Dubuis in the early 2000s, it was (in part) their manufacturing capacity and skills that Richemont wanted. As unique as Roger Dubuis can come across at times, they are still a reputable true manufacture of watches - many of which bear the prestigious Geneva Seal.
A few years ago, the Roger Dubuis company hired back the man to serve a mostly ceremonial role within the company - but one that does at least appear to have Mr. Dubuis act, in a sense, as the shepherd of the company he started. The Roger Dubuis Hommage collection of watches are nearest to his original designs. 1990s era Roger Dubuis watches look tame by today's tastes, but at the time were very visually arresting. The brand took a much more bold direction after separating from its founder and slowly started to become the brand that it is today. Even so, I don't feel like Roger Dubuis has yet to find its comfort zone. I think Roger Dubuis knows what it is good at, but it doesn't know what to tell people it is good at, and how to visually express that. It will be interesting to see how the brand develops over the next few years as they hopefully develop a more distinct brand personality. For now, it is at least enjoyable to see them trying new things.
