“Restoration was more 
than a revelation. 
It became a vocation, 
a mission to safeguard 
history and these existing 
crafts. The overriding 
purpose has always been 
to ensure that all of us 
who are true devotees 
of fine mechanisms may 
continue to enjoy these 
masterpieces – whether 
new or historical creations 
– and to pass them on in 
our turn.”

“My character has been 

forged through restoration”

Mr. Roger Dubuis
