Finishing Touches
The Roger Dubuis factory, a top-tier manufacturer specializing in artistically extroverted timepieces, is one of Geneva's temples of haute horlogerie, a place where you'd expect the loudest sound to be the nearly inaudible cricket-song of a hand file against brass. It's in a room like this that virtually every watch, from the humblest $100 automatic to the costliest limited-edition mechanical marvel, starts its life. The components are made by supersophisticated industrial robots. An appreciation of finishing is an insider passion even today. But a basic understanding of it can give the nonfanatic a new perspective on the price-value relationship of timepieces. Here are key points to remember: 1. Respect the robots. 2. More finishing does not mean more accuracy. 3. Quality of finish and price tag don't always parallel. 4. Precious metals and gemstones change the equation. 5. Higher price means more finishing. 6. At the high end, it's the finisseur. 7. Above that, complication comes into play.
