The origins of Debaufre can be traced back to the year 1704, when in conjunction with Nicholas Facio, Jacob and Peter Debaufre were granted a patent for the application of jewels to the pivot holes of movements in watches and clocks.
This revolutionized the art of watch-making, and was a practice so far ahead of its time that it is still used today in most mechanical watches. They also invented and produced the first Frictional Wrist Watch Escapement. Peter Debaufre was admitted into the Clockmakers' Company in 1689.
