Durowe（Deutsche Uhren-Rohwerke）曾是德国首要机芯制造商，在石英危机中被摧毁——没有人需要德国机械机芯，而日本石英的成本只是其一个零头。

关于 Durowe 的常见问题
- DUROWE 是腕表品牌还是机芯制造商？
- DUROWE 主要以机芯制造商身份运营，为众多德国和国际腕表品牌供应坯件机芯，并非主要面向终端消费者的腕表品牌，其商业价值体现在德国腕表制造供应链的核心幕后角色中。
- Are Durowe movements still valuable?
- Vintage Durowe calibres are appreciated by collectors of German watchmaking history, though they command modest prices compared to Swiss equivalents. Higher-grade lever-escapement models attract the most interest.
- Can I still buy a watch with a Durowe movement today?
- Durowe movements are only available in vintage watches on the secondary market. As an ébauche manufacturer, Durowe supplied movements to other brands rather than producing complete timepieces under its own name.
- What brands used Durowe movements?
- Numerous German watchmakers relied on Durowe calibres, including Junghans, Kienzle, Dugena, and many smaller manufacturers. Some international brands also sourced Durowe movements as an alternative to Swiss ébauches.
- Why was Durowe important to German watchmaking?
- Durowe represented German horological independence, providing domestic manufacturers with locally-produced movements rather than relying entirely on Swiss suppliers. At its height, the company supplied calibres to the majority of German-branded watches.
