Georges Ducommun was one of 13 children and only twelve years old when he began his apprenticeship with an established watchmaker in 1880. As the family was not well off, Georges had to contribute his share to the family income. Georges´ temperament for hard work and discipline combined with a passion for mechanical precision and beauty meant timepieces passed through increasingly skilled and expert hands. 1889. The adventure begins... Georges had built a solid reputation for ingenuity, attention to detail, quick service and customer orientation - even walking twenty-odd kilometers to deliver a watch. But he was never satisfied. As he brought each tiny component and movement to life, Georges imagined how he could tweak it to make an even better watch. Georges soon realized it was time to step out of his comfort zone and opened his own business, “Georges Ducommun, Fabriques Doxa” at the age of 21. “DOXA” is the Greek word for glory. Over time it has also come to signify the splendor of timepieces with a reputation for value, quality and exceptional workmanship. Georges' unique craftsmanship was recognized beyond the Jura region, Neuchatel and Switzerland as having reached this barometer. His pocket watch was honored at the “Exposition Universelle et Internationale,” at the World’s Fair held in Liège, Belgium in 1905 and in 1906 Georges’ anti-magnetic DOXA won the gold medal at the World’s Fair in Milan, Italy. Georges’ ingenuity and knack for optimization timed perfectly to solve a problem thrown up by the automobile revolution in the early years of the 20th Century. Endurance races were all the rage and they needed a robust and reliable dashboard-mounted clock with an adequate power reserve. Georges filed a patent in 1907 for the “8-Day DOXA Caliber” which became standard equipment on Bugatti’s racing cars – and an industry standard. Instrument panels in other automotive brands promptly featured a DOXA, with ships and airplanes following soon afterwards. If you want to learn more visit: https://pl.doxawatches.com//pages/his...
