More than 60 years ago Outils Rubis manufactured their first tweezers for the Swiss watch industry. Only the most precise instruments of the highest quality could be used to assemble delicate mechanical clockworks. Hence ,a tradition of craftsmanship with a keen awareness of functional precision and aesthetic form was developing that all along has also been a virtue of Swiss watch producers.

The reputation of Outils Rubis as a market leader in the watch industry and their dedication to quality and design laid groundwork for their entry to today's growing high tech industry. Rubis is currently a worldwide supplier to international companies dealing in electronics, computers, aviation, telecommunications, biotechnology, and research laboratories.

In addition the Rubis philosophy of combining modern technical know how, experience, and unparalleled functional design has produced implements that since 1992 have won more than ten international design prizes.
