Dubuis established his own atelier in 1980 and created his own brand when he released his first collection in 1995. Produced while Roger Dubuis was still leading the company, the present Much More reigns, featuring a sleek and elegant rectangular case, a striking presence on the wrist by featuring highly stylized Arabic numerals and not only. The 34 mm by 47 mm rectangular solid three-body curved case with straight screwed lugs and curved stepped convex bezel is preserved in incredible conditions with very deep engravings and the presence of an oxidation coming from little use. The orange sunburst dial with large grey Arabic numeral hour markers is surrounded by a perimeter black railway-style minute track and fancy blued spade/syringe hour and minute hands. There are twin day and month aperture windows underneath the 12 o’clock position, and there is a small round numbered circular leap year aperture that turns ruby red on a leap year between 2 and 3 o’clock for the perpetual calendar complication. The two recessed subsidiary dials with black Arabic numerals including a color moon phase register between 8 and 9 o’clock marked “BULLETIN D’OBSERVATOIRE,” and there is a radial date dial with a blued indicator hand between 3 and 4 o’clock. Powered by the mechanical automatic self-winding Roger Dubuis caliber RD5739, the watch comes with the box, certificates, tag and setting pin and is numbered 16 of a limited edition of 28 pieces only.
