By the
late 16th century master watchmakers were distinguished by their diversity and
pure imagination; the sky was the limit for style and function alike.
Timepieces
were often made inside of pendants and charms shaped into everything from human
skulls to various animals like dogs, rabbits, and even fish.
The more
obscure the piece, the better. As the complexity of timepieces matured, the
distinction between watches and other types of jewelry became more defined.
Then a
jeweler and watchmaker by the name of Martin Duboule took signing to the next
level when he added the phrase, "à Genève" underneath his name.
This
revolutionary decision was first presented on a skull watch made circa 1620.
Martin was also known in his trade as a lapidary (precious stone engraver).
This
ability was well recognized when he created the earliest known Geneva
watch decorated with champlevé enamel that now resides in Paris'
Cluny museum.
Jean-Baptiste
Duboule, Martin's son, soon became a master watchmaker and engraver in his own
right.
The
astronomical fusee watch he made ca. 1680 now resides in the British museum and
is claimed to be the finest piece ever made for its time.
Jean-Baptiste
Duboule also would go on to revolutionize the fusee watch design. By the
mid-17th century, watches operated with a mainspring made of either a length of
catgut or chain.
This
spring, after the watch had been fully wound, will slowly wrap around a conical
spiral as the timekeeper runs during the course of the day.
It is due
to both father and son's immeasurable talents and contributions to the
watchmaking world that we pay tribute.
The
plethora of beautiful timepieces that make up the Duboule collection are made
with a perfect balance of precise craftsmanship and refined presence.
So join
us as we remember the brilliant watches of the past with these incredible
timepieces of today.
