What is DUFA?
Founded in 1864 as a company that made movements for music boxes and clocks, DUFA rose to prominence in the German watch market in the 1920s. Later, DUFA inherited the legacy of the Bauhaus design school, which originated in Weimar, Thuringia, a city known as the "holiday state" for its tranquil streets, and developed a collection of simple, streamlined watches. This collection of watches, which pursues functional beauty, is beloved for its pride in pinnacle precision manufacturing and the rugged, noble spirit of German timepieces.
The brand name comes from Deutsche Uhrenfabric (German watch factory).



【Brand Features】
1. A watch brand that represents German watch history

In the 1920s, DUFA made a name for itself as a leading brand in the German table and wall clock industry. Even now that the brand has shifted to watches, it continues to captivate fans.

2. Simple and Uncluttered Bauhaus Design
This design is inspired by the masters of the prestigious Bauhaus design school, Germany, who advocated the "elimination of all waste."

3. MADE IN GERMANY
While maintaining the high quality of German-made products, the price range is centered around 30,000 to 50,000 yen. Since many German-made watch brands are expensive, the appeal of this brand is its cost performance, with little competition in domestic distribution.
