You are a genius in the watch making world,you are truly the only one.

Thank you

Vos garde-temps sont simplement magnifiques. Vous voyez dans l’art horloger, une forme de transmission d’un savoir-faire horloger intemporel.
Surtout, Monsieur Dufour, ne passer pas à coté de la beauté cachée.
Au plaisir de pouvoir vous rencontrer un jour. Alvarez Georges

Dear philippe, you are an indicator that individuality is most respected. I want to one day own the Holy Grail from your collection. Thank you for existing and I wish you good health. Making a dream come true would be to get to know you. Your biggest fan from Serbia.

What an uplifting pleasure to keep in touch and see and read and watch all your work. Ever since i was a child overseas and later an engineer i wondered if someone would have the guts to go it alone like my father in engineering and break with corporate branding to do something of their own and face the world with a risk so terrible and scary but come out ok… Greats like Phillipe Dufour and Kari Voutilainen keep me going through life’s difficulties till this day because I never made it. Thanks for great peoples like yourself.

I have been following your work for many years. The simple yet elegant finishing just ooze class. Too bad never get the chance to own one.

‚Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication’. The true art always strives for simplicity. I will keep my eyes wide open for true art Mr Dufour! Thank you.

Dear Philippe
Firstly, I am a fan of the the world of horology. In particular the technical aspects of the whole movement. The whole process of a moving seconds hand right from the power source of the mainspring gets me intrigue every single. The winding of the crown, hearing the mainspring winds up is like when I see my first born’s heart beating through the ultrasound. Hence my preference for the manually wound calibre. There is just so much enjoyment.
My horological journey started only about 15 years back. And I am slowly but surely appreciating the art and work put into this industry by the respective watchmakers. No doubt many of them have different styles but all simply super.
Just thought I’d leave this note here. Also, hoping to acquire one of your masterpieces one fine day.
Best regards
Roger

Dear Mr. Dufour,

As many before me have so eloquently stated and surmised that your horological contributions are unparalleled. At times, I feel that Breguet and Daniels have been reincarnated within you (along with a piece of Golay). Though I have never had the honor of even trying on one of your sublime timepieces, I know that if I ever did, it would be an experience I would cherish forever. You have created a worthwhile legacy, so rest easy, as time is our most precious asset. Warmly, Dave Nayak Chicago IL

Hello Mister Dufour,

You are the best watchmaker in the world without a doubt. I love your work and passion. A true master in the world of watchmaking.
I wish you lots of health and wealth for the upcoming years. Hopefully I’ll be able to meet you one day and hopefully I’ll be able to own one of your masterpieces one day. A Philippe Dufour watch is my holy grail watch.
I truly appreciate what you have done and achieved and I’m looking forward to the next pieces you’ll be producing. And I just wanted to thank you and your hard work, I’m truly thankful that I’m alive and able to witness these beautiful creations of yours.

With kind regards,

Kevin Xu

Bonjour Monsieur Dufour,
Comment vous exprimer toute mon admiration… je ne le sais pas vraiment. Vos montres sont merveilleuses, d’une élégance que l’on ne trouve pas ou plus chez de grandes maisons horlogères.
J’ai regardé beaucoup de documentaires sur la réalisation de vos montres, la fabrication de chaque visse, chaque pignon…J’étais tellement impressionné devant tant de précision, de patience, de qualité
Pour un jeune passionné d’horlogerie que je suis vous êtes plus qu’un maître en la matière.
Je vous remercie très humblement de faire perdurer cette tradition horlogère, ce que vous faîtes avec passion.
J’espère vraiment pouvoir un jour me rendre dans le canton de Vaud, afin de visiter votre atelier et vous rencontrer. Ce serait extraordinaire.
Merci pour ce que vous faîtes

Cher MAÎTRE,
Chaque fois que je vous écris, l’émotion et le souvenir de ma premier visite « improvisée »   dans votre monde magique, votre atelier d’artiste, me revient.
Votre sourire et votre simplicité, votre gentillesse sont reste grave à jamais …
Vous êtes un Homme extraordinaire.
J’espère après cette pandémie de pouvoir venir vous rendre visite.
Ce site est magnifique.
Merci de partager avec nous votre aventure.

J’ai pris un plaisir délicieux a lire et parcourir ce site qui n’a que confirmé toute l’estime que je vous porte, je suis un artiste qui réalise des oeuvres sur le sujet horloger (@watchoniste) et je me ferais un plaisir de vous envoyer un dessin sur l’une de vos créations.

I have enjoyed rediscovering who Philippe Dufour the Grand horological Master is. It was a pure pleasure to read all the information, watch all the videos and understand the philosophy of the greatest watchmaker in today’s world. We haven’t been blessed to be around when Breguet for instance revolutionised the watch industry but we sure are humbled and honoured to have lived through the period where you Sir have changed the world of watchmaking. On a personal note I am very overwhelmed to have someone I respect and admire from my part of the world to be called your brother. Claude Sfeir is one of the best figures in the watch industry and world. A true humble gentleman. And your partnership is simply the best. I look forward to what the future brings. And I am willing to wait not 6 years but even 60 to have the great honour to one day wear one of your watches.

I am a great admirer of your watches. Please make another watch for my family to enjoy for years to come!

Simply amazing!!! Merci

To Mr. Dufour,

I must begin by saying that you are one of the few people I really look up to. Ant 16 years old, watchmaking has become my uttermost passion and I see you as a model to follow. One day I hope to meet you in person. Until then, I wish you all the best and enjoy the best metier a man can have!

Sincere regards,

David

P. S. You also have great friends, so cherish those too; I had the pleasure of talking to your friend, ‘l951.1’, who speaks fondly of you. Merry Christmas!

It’s wonderful to have an official source to explore your wonderful timepieces. Hope to one day see one in person! All the best for you and your staff.

Thank you for you tremendous contribution to horology! Love your work!! All the best!

I believe obtaining one of your watch is only in my Dream.

I am very excited to check your website. Hope i will have a chance to look your watch in person near future!

Happy to see a website for such a horology legend. Wishing you all the best, very long healthy and joyful life with your family.

Dear Maître,

What a great Christmas gift to all who admire your work! I will certainly come back often to check for news or search for inspiration by letting myself immerse into your (our) world.

Knowing that the best is yet to come, I wish all the best to you and your family!

Cela a été un honneur et un privilège d’œuvrer avec Marc et Nicolas à la création de ton site Internet. J’ai vécu des moments d’intense complicité avec toi qui m’ont ravi et qui resterons gravé dans ma mémoire à jamais.

Ce fût un long chemin semé d’embûches mais d’une richesse inouïe, Je me réjouis par avance de la suite de l’aventure.

Amitié
