    • Doxa

    Doxa is a Swiss watch brand that was founded in 1889 in Neuchatel. Georges Ducommun (1868-1936), the founder of Doxa, was born in Le Locle among the Jura hills of canton Neuchatel in Switzerland. He was one of 13 children of a poor family. At the age of 12, he became an apprentice in a manufacture specialised in casing-up watch movements.

    He started his own watch repair business when he was 20. He worked hard to set up his business, walking the 10 kilometers to La Chaux-de Fonds to deliver his products personally, even in the depth of winter. The success of his watches enabled him to live in Chateau des Monts, today home of the world-renowned Le Locle horological museum.

    Many watch brands are quick to describe new creations as “an icon revived,” or “a legend reborn.“ Sometimes these labels are both earned and legitimate, but in other cases, it’s more a marketing stunt to garner attention. The watch we’re covering this week — the Doxa SUB 300 Professional 50th Anniversary Edition— is most definitely in the former rather than the latter category.
