Chapter One · Since 1972

The timeless legacy
of Roger Rodin.

A union of precision and artistry, born of two enduring European traditions and shaped, year by year, into a maison whose creations have earned the quiet admiration of collectors, tastemakers, and connoisseurs the world over.

1972 · The Beginning

A vision shared by two founders.


The brand’s origins trace to 1972, when visionary founders Huitema & Bosch sought to create something extraordinary, a watch brand that combined the outstanding craftsmanship of Swiss-made timepieces with an unmistakable flair for French design.

Driven by their shared passion, they envisioned a brand that would transcend trends and define an era. They believed a watch should be more than a functional accessory; it should be a masterpiece, one that reflected both Swiss precision and French elegance. With these principles in mind, Roger Rodin was born.

The Foundation of Excellence

Wearable art, radiating sophistication.


From the very beginning, Roger Rodin set itself apart. Every watch was a tribute to craftsmanship, meticulously handcrafted by Swiss artisans whose expertise had been honed over generations. These artisans embraced the principles of artisanry, combining state-of-the-art techniques with traditional methods to ensure each piece was both innovative and timeless.

The designs were no less impressive. Inspired by the grandeur of French aesthetics, Huitema & Bosch ensured every curve, every detail, and every material choice reflected design excellence. The brand’s creations were not just functional; they were wearable art, radiating sophistication and individuality.
