Expect any watch designated as an anniversary watch to be worth your while. Such is the case with the Doxa Chateau des Monts watch which was launched to celebrate the 120th anniversary of Doxa.? Doxa was registered 89 years ago in 1910 but founder Georges Ducommun already had his own watch repair shop as early as 1889.The Doxa Chateau des Monts watch, which is selling for $2,500, was named after the famous home of Georges Ducommun called Chateau des Monts watch. The watch is a tribute to both the building and the symbol it holds.Each piece of the limited edition Doxa Chateau des Monts watch has an engraved caption of the important event it is commemorating. It has big Arabic numerals to indicate the time. This is a vintage watch styled much like the 1920s Locle models.The Doxa Chateau des Monts watch has a stainless steel case and is powered by a Unitas movement that is manually wounded. You can opt for the Black or Brown leather strap with buckle.Only 120 for each version of the Doxa Chateau des Monts watch will be produced to maintain its exclusivity.

Richemont is pleased to announce that the Group has acquired a controlling interest in the well known Geneva watch company, Manufacture Roger Dubuis SA in a private transaction with Mr Carlos Dias, one of the founding shareholders. Manufacture Roger Dubuis SA will continue to manufacture and distribute watches under the 'Roger Dubuis' name and will operate as an autonomous 'Maison' within Richemont. Roger Dubuis will benefit from broader integration of its distribution into the Richemont structure as a consequence of the transaction. Commenting on the transaction, Mr Johann Rupert, Executive Chairman of Richemont, said: "Roger Dubuis watches are highly innovative in terms of movements and design. As a young business, it is very different from the more established specialist watchmakers within the Group today; as such it complements our Maisons perfectly. We look forward to developing the Roger Dubuis business internationally." The transaction will have no material impact on Richemont's consolidated net assets and is not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's overall profitability for the year ending 31 March 2009.
