He had just graduated from the Geneva watchmaking school, found his first job and became the first watchmaker to be hired specifically for Tudor.<\/p>\n<p>So Jean-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Dufour welcomed him and talked to him. Without asking for the audio and video mute. The man considered by the media to be one of the most unapproachable public figures worldwide spoke out. Does Nicolas Ross\u00e9 even realize it? This is a historic moment, certainly also for the 15,000 current Rolex employees, who will discover the joyful face of an ex-colleague who was the 17th of them to be hired by the company.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-image align_none meta_simple\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"990\" height=\"1320\" src=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2024-03-27-10.03.41-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2024-03-27-10.03.41-scaled.jpeg 990w, https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2024-03-27-10.03.41-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2024-03-27-10.03.41-450x600.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"w-image-meta\"><div class=\"w-image-title\">During a Watch Caf\u00e9 by JSH at the Maison de l'Horlogerie, the almost 103-year-old Georges Dubois is considered the doyen of watchmakers.

Founded in 2005, his press agency 1876 News (formerly T\u00e0G Press +41T) contributes to some twenty media through a network of around ten journalists or experts.

Member of Impressum, PressTourim and Club Suisse de la Presse, this Ivory Coast-born Swiss, descendant of a family of watchmakers, co-founded the magazines Montres Passion &amp; Uhren Welt at Ringier in 1993 with Kenan Tegin, as well as the Prix Montre de l'Ann\u00e9e. Founded in 2005, his press agency 1876 News (formerly T\u00e0G Press +41T) contributes to some twenty media through a network of around ten journalists or experts. These include Journal Suisse d'Horlogerie (2008-2014), Heure Suisse\/Schweiz and Ann\u00e9e Horlog\u00e8re, F\/D\/E (2011-2014), Watchonista.com (2013-2019). In 2019, he founded and chaired \"JSH Archives &amp; Patrimoine\" to relaunch the Swiss watchmaking journal JSH. Then in 2021, he built on his very first editorial venture, the \"bloghorloger.ch\" established on the web in 2003, to come back online with the Swiss Watch Passport\u00ae (by JSH\u00ae).
