Roger Dubuis Acqua Mare, Pride in excesses, always. Overhaul and Detailing Project.
Roger Dubuis is a fairly new high-end luxury watch manufacturer. Since its origin in 1995, it had a clear mindset to be a unique and daring watch manufacturer, an innovator in all its creations, and only offering limited editions to its followers.
Its pride is to design and manufacture timepieces that create a trend and that will be easily recognizable in a world full of magnificent-looking timepieces.
Roger Dubuis is very active in utilizing unusual materials, creative designs, and developing very high complication movements, of course, made in-house. They have developed 33 exclusive in-house calibers since its creation.
It comes as no surprise that Roger Dubuis was one of the modern leaders using skeletonized awesome movements in some of their watches, becoming a very strong player in the field of Hyper Horology.
Roger Dubuis Repair Services
It is always an honor to be able to work on such a beautiful and unique watch.
As in most cases, Gray and Sons was “interviewed” by the watch collector that wanted to make sure we were able to repair his watch and were going to use original parts if they were necessary. It was also very important to the customer to find out our turnaround time to repair his timepiece.
Before Gray and Sons Repair
The watch was in immediate need of service as the whole mechanism was dry and without the necessary lubrication, the parts wear down the jewels and the teeth of the wheels get damaged. It is highly recommended by Swiss watch manufacturers that you service a watch every 4 to 5 years to have it running at its best.
Before Gray and Sons Repair
Our Swiss watchmakers took the job with great enthusiasm, as we started the process to bring this magnificent timepiece to its best.
Every movement is different, every watch is unique and it is a singular challenge. At Gray & Sons, we make it personal to bring every timepiece back to its original splendor. It is our work and pride that we have done for 40+ years and a challenge to keep on doing it for the next 40 years to come.

So the process begins, the movement is removed. Case and deployment buckle are sent to one of our highly specialized watch polishers to detail and buff up the stainless steel to its original beauty, which requires a very clear understanding of the job to be done with each timepiece, to make sure that each part of the watch continues to be as original as designed using methods to properly satin and shiny polish each stainless steel part.
We also check the rubber strap to make sure that it is flexible enough and safe to wear this large and heavy watch without the risk of breaking and that the deployment buckle is also fine.

At the same time, one of our watchmakers had disassembled the movement to the barest parts. Cleaning them using a multi-stage process to remove dirt, small broken parts, and old dried lubricants to bring this great movement back to its best performance.
Then, we begin working with the dial. It is in good shape and has no visible damage but we need to clean it to make it look perfect.
After Gray and Sons Repair
This overhaul of the movement process takes approximately 9 to 10 working days to be achieved as no shortcuts are used, we, at Gray & Sons, only do this the old-fashioned way of the antique watchmakers.
The movement is put together again to start working on the regulation, timekeeping accuracy, power reserve, and synchronization of all the parts involved for this magnificent movement to keep time, this new process taking 10 days.
Then the watch will be released, and for the final checks, two specialists will test the power reserve of the movement manually, then check the automatic winding using mechanical wheels, finally pressure testing machines to check for leaks on the new installed seals and gaskets, this will take another 10 days.
The watch is almost ready to be shipped back and as a final stage, we will have another associate check everything all over again with new eyes and have these final tests done again before we ship it back to the owner.
