Pierre Dubois brings to his Pierre DeRoche brand not only the legacy of watchmaking excellence that he inherited from his family, the founders and operators of the world renowned movement house Dubois Depraz; but the experience that he gained as the Chief Financial Officer of Audemars Piguet. Pierre's family history gives him a distinct advantage over many of the other independent houses in Switzerland but, more importantly, the passion that he has for creating exceptional and unique watches is evident throughout the Pierre DeRoche line.
The Pierre DeRoche GrandCliff Double Retrograde Skyscrapers is an extremely compelling take on the illustration of time en retrograde. 
Unique to the Skyscrapers is the central point of origin for both the hour and minute retrograde display - the result being what might appear, at first glance, to be a traditional arrangement but instead has the hour hand moving between an arc of three dimensional rhodium plated markers on the left side of the dial while the minute hand ticks off the passage of time over a necessarily larger arc on the right side. Seconds are displayed in a 360 degree fashion in a subdial just right of center.
A single screw down crown on the right side of the 42.5mm brushed stainless steel case controls the setting functions of the GrandCliff Double Retrograde Skyscrapers.
Inside the Skyscrapers is the Dubois Depraz caliber automatic movement - a flawless execution from a house at the pinnacle of the Swiss interpretation of the art of watchmaking.
The Pierre DeRoche GrandCliff Double Retrograde Skyscrapers has gotten the attention of many collectors who appreciate the attention to detail and creative license inherit to an independent brand and demand a superior level of quality in the watches that they own. MSRP is 16,100 CHF.
