Roger Dubuis is the brand name of luxury watches and jewellery founded by Carlos Dias and Roger Dubuis.

Dubuis, a talented watchmaker, founded his own atelier in 1980 after 14 years of developing complications for Patek Philippe. He took commissions to design new complications for major brands for several years. Carlos Dias, a designer for Franck Muller, joined Dubuis to launch the brand. Roger Dubuis was born in Geneva and all of his watches, strongly associated with that culture, are submitted to the quality hallmark of the Poinçon de Genève as well as receiving chronometer certifications.

In August 2008, Richemont Group has acquired 60 percent interest in Roger Dubuis SA. The announcement was made on Monday 11 August 2008. Richemont, based in Geneva, said the acquisition was a private transaction with Carlos Dias, chief executable officer and primary shareholder of Roger Dubuis SA.

Roger Dubuis SA, based in Geneva, will continue to manufacture and distribute watches under the 'Roger Dubuis' name.
