History of DOXA Watches

A watchmaking apprentice from the age of 12, Swiss-born Georges Ducommun founded the brand in 1889. By 20, he had his own watch repair shop in the heart of Le Locle and a passion for mechanical precision gained him recognition for his first stopwatch at the Exposition Universelle et Internationale. This was the start of many awards he came to receive across a number of world horology fairs, collecting gold medals along the way.

Christening his brand “DOXA” after the Greek word for ‘glory’ he began creating timepieces that were an immediate success. He secured a patent in 1908 for the ‘8-day DOXA Calibre’ – a robust dashboard clock that was designed with endurance car racing in mind. After years of success in Swiss watchmaking, Ducommun passed away in 1936 and his son-in-law, Jacques Nardin succeeded him with a promise to continue his legacy.

DOXA began to push the boundaries of horology further, developing instruments such as alarms, ring watches, and advancing their timepiece technology to include the first jumping second hand and a date pointer.

In the 1950s DOXA continued to develop intricate designs specialising in detailed dress watches, such as the stylish “Grafic” collection. By the 1960s we saw the release of DOXA’s first-ever men’s diving watch – the SUB. This was specifically designed to make state-of-the-art sporting watches accessible to all divers both amateur and professional.

To this day, DOXA is known globally for its pioneering presence in deep-sea sporting endeavours, providing watches for the military and professional divers. The brand continues to be a strong go-to for adventurers from every corner of the world.
