Philippe Dufour

The Philippe and Elisabeth Dufour Foundation remains committed as ever to international solidarity with new projects in Madagascar and Peru, following its local initiatives in Switzerland.

Today, the Philippe and Elisabeth Dufour Foundation announces the donation of a scanner to the Vallée de Joux Hospital, in partnership with the Paul-Edouard Piguet Foundation and the Louis Napoléon Foundation. This donation reflects the Foundation’s commitment to supporting urgent humanitarian needs both locally and internationally.

The story revolves around family — the story of a new generation in the watch industry, personified by Daniela Dufour, a watchmaker and daughter of Philippe Dufour, a living legend of horology, and Benjamin Arabov, son of Jacob Arabo and CEO of Jacob&Co. Both are guided by their father’s love of watches.

Philippe and Elisabeth Dufour entrust Christie’s HK with the sale of their "pièce unique Philippe Dufour", specially created to support their " Philippe & Elisabeth Dufour" Foundation.

The HOROPEDIA Foundation unveiled the first digital encyclopedia dedicated to the world of watchmaking.

Made by Philippe Dufour, this Grande et Petite Sonnerie is amongst the most important wristwatches ever assembled. With the initial piece requiring over two and a half years to complete, it became the first wristwatch to house the impressive chiming complication. Only eight examples have ever been made.
