The World, David Chokron, December 28, 2020

A watchmaker from the Swiss Jura, Philippe Dufour is relaunching the production of his reference model, the Simplicity. Twenty exceptional examples, made by hand, without a computer and in dribs and drabs, which set the world of enthusiasts in turmoil.

There are characters whose dubbing is sought. Although totally unknown to the general public, and poorly known to the watchmaking public, Philippe Dufour is one of them.
