It can be difficult to find them. "In the three-year period that I've worked at Sotheby's, I don't believe we've ever had one through our doors." There are so few of them on the market that they are mostly traded privately. Wallhagen has even had friends offer to buy the Hommage Chronograph off his wrist. The reason there are so few watches on the market is because they were so few. Dubuis wanted only 26 of each variation, but Carlos Dias demanded 28 because it would sell better in Asia. It is possible that the 28 was a variation of 208 which is Dubuis' resignation from the Ecole d'Horlogerie de Geneve.

It was about 10 years after the watches had left the factory.

Wallhagen describes the company's growth from a "hole-in-the wall" SIHH stand in 1998 to employing 450 employees and generating CHF100M in revenue per year. Since its early days, when production was limited, the brand has grown exponentially. It seems these small numbers are now boosting the second-hand markets. Jason Singer, well-known collector of bubblebacks from the early 1900s, Patek Philippes and early Rolex Replica, agrees. "I search for them online every day, but they are becoming increasingly difficult to find." I miss them by just a few hours at most.
