who is dufrane
A pure passion for watches
My name Steven Lee and I've had a lifelong love affair with the poeticism, timelessness and inspirational beauty of mechanical watches. From the moment of my first watch purchase as a youngster (around 8), to being gifted by my mother my grandfather's old Wyler mechanical watch, I knew that watches were going to be one of the most central themes in my life.
This passion inspired me as a collector that led me around Europe on a personal quest to uncover more of the history behind watchmaking and the incredible brands that have hundreds of years of combined history.The DuFrane motto is “history remembers those who are a little bit different.” From bold, risk takers to extravagant characters, every great legacy has a mark of distinction that makes them truly unique.
Our watch designs embody a sense of adventure, freedom and desire to live life to the fullest. There are 86,400 seconds each day, how will you spend yours? Adventure Awaits.

We call the stylish concentric dial pattern a record dial. It is unique to DuFrane and provides incredible depth to the available color options.
