History

When starting his workshops in 1889 in Le Locle, Georges Ducommum focus on producing pocket watches. His high-quality work made him earned awards in Liege in 1905 and Milan in 1906. His first patent is for an eight days movement. In 1910, the trademark Doxa is registered. In the 1920’s Doxa increased its activities with instrument-panel clocks for cars and planes as well as wristwatches. Then came ring-watches, ladies jewelry wristwatches, railway and travel clocks and many others. The strategy of Doxa was the high-end quality at a very reasonable price. In 1936 Georges died and then the company was taking over by his brother in law Jacques Nardin. In 1950’s, the jumping seconds was introduced, then the “Grafic” in 1958 and the “Sub 300” in 1967.
