It has been heading that way for a year. There were many ownership changes in the past couple years and the company never regained what they once were. If website is gone and emails are being returned, well then that means the company is done.

Hat to disagree chef but debaufre and Steinhart are one and the same. Steinhart was to change the name http://www.prweb.com/releases/2007/08/prweb544171.htm but it looks like the other way around. As they have new models on http://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/

Debaufre and Steinhart are not one in the same. They split over two years ago. Then Defaufre changed hands twice. I know this from being in contact with the Debaufre rep last year. They have not been the same company know for years.

Not to sound insensitive to the people involved with the microbrand but it doesn't really matter unless you have one of their watches under warranty. Steinhart would be able to service any of the Debaufre watches, as would just about any watchmaker that services Swiss Movements... That said, one of my first microbrand watches was a Debaufre Csar, which I still own and love...

If you like the watch other than it runs fast, take it to a watchmaker and have him take a look. I've got a guy down here that will stick it on a machine and adjust it in several positions for $20...

I just tried calling the phone number for them that I found in a post on this site, and it is no longer a working number. Seems they really just decided to shut their doors and not let anybody know. Man I hope they fulfilled any orders they had before they took the website down or issued refunds.

FYI... I thought it would be worth while posting this, as many already know, the Debaufre site has been down for almost 2 weeks. Recently I placed a bid on a Debaufre watch online and the seller mentioned that the watch was one of the last ones in their line. I sent him/her a question wondering about quality since I was unsure the company was still in business and the response I got was (I modified the site name as I am unaware of the forum rules on listing other sites): "Hi, Debaufre is no longer conducting business through its old website and all watches will now be sold over e@#y's platform. The reason for this is that our swiss manufacturers have significantly raised their prices so we were no longer able to keep our prices low enough for the US market. Ill be selling Debaufre stock on E@#y to people who would like to take advantage of our great quality watches at a low price. I will be posting some 42mm oceans soon as well. These Csar watches were sent from our manufacturer in Switzerland about 6 months ago after they were sent through their quality control. Best"

Regardless, for a company with such a far fall from grace, would you buy on EBay from them?

Itried to buy a Debaufre Ocean about 9 monthes ago but they had to special order it taking over 6 weeks. Lost patience with waiting and ordered a Steinhart instead. Sad to hear of their demise. I am really enjoying my Steinhart and very happy Steinhart is still in business.
