  • Ref. M25.18.5
  • Complete Set

Year: 2004
Model: Much More
Case Diameter: 25mm 
Lug to Lug: 38mm
Case: Rose Gold
Dial: Silver
Movement: Automatic 

Condition
This is a very clean example overall. The dial is in fantastic shape with silver chrome hour markers. The case is very clean, with all the hallmarks intact and sharp. It comes with its original strap, buckle, and box set.

The Much More line might not be as popular as early Dubuis but it is still at the same level of craftsmanship. The most important thing to note is that the movement has a Geneva Seal with documentation.

The Geneva Seal is a watch movement that meets two sets of requirements: location and quality. The movement must be manufactured in Geneva and have solid bankings on the escapement lever. The Seal was established in 1886 to assert the superiority of Genevan watchmaking and associate it with higher quality in material and craft. It is now administered by Timelab, an independent quality control agency. The Seal is actually the coat-of-arms of Geneva itself, with a heraldic language.

The watch is also gorgeous. From the large blued hands to the stunning dial, the Much More is a beautiful iteration of a rectangle watch from the early 2000s. 

Roger Dubuis, a renowned watch brand in the early 2000s, was a fusion of historical ideas and modernity. The company produced over 25,000 watches annually, generating over SFr100m of revenue. Dubuis began his career at Longines in the late 1950s and later worked for Patek Philippe in Geneva. He left the watchmaker's workshop in 1980 to repair watches and clocks for collectors, auction houses, and watch brands. In the late 1980s, he started working on his first complication, a perpetual calendar module with retrograde displays.

In the early 1990s, Dubuis met Carlos Dias, who later became the impresario of the Roger Dubuis brand. Together, they set up Société Genevoise des Montres (SOGEM) in 1995. Jean-Marc Wiederrecht, founder of complications specialist Agenhor, explains that Dubuis and Wiederrecht worked on developing a retrograde perpetual calendar module at the behest of New York jeweller Harry Winston. The Bi-Retro Perpetual Calendar wristwatch was the first double retrograde perpetual calendar, and Dubuis would later make it the signature complication of his brand.

The first Roger Dubuis watches were acclaimed by collectors for channeling traditional Geneva watchmaking while having more stylistic flair. They came in two styles: Sympathie and Hommage. The Sympathie shape was later adopted as the brand's signature, while the Hommage watch case was an elegant modern version of the water-resistant Patek Philippe ref. 1463 chronograph. All Roger Dubuis watches were certified as chronometers by the Besançon Observatory and hallmarked with the Poincon de Geneve or Geneva Seal.
