The Maison

Four generations at the same bench

Luxoris has never grown beyond the number of watchmakers it can train itself. That constraint is the house's only strategy — and the reason each piece carries a name rather than a batch number.

  1. 1912

    A bench on Rue du Rhône

    Émile Roubaix opens a two-man workshop repairing pocket watches for the houses of Geneva. Within a decade he is making his own.

  2. 1958

    The first gold calibre

    The AR-1 movement is finished entirely in yellow gold, establishing the material discipline the maison has never abandoned.

  3. 1994

    Fine jewelry joins the house

    A gem-setting atelier is added above the watchmaking floor, allowing stones and cases to be matched under one roof.

  4. Today

    Fewer than four hundred a year

    Production remains deliberately small. Each piece is numbered, signed, and welcomed back for servicing without limit of time.
