**Durowe** is a German [[ebauche movement]] manufacturer. The name is an abbreviation of **Deutsche Uhren-Roh-Werke (DuRoWe)**.

The company was founded 23 October [[1933]] in [[Pforzheim]] by [[Hummel, Ludwig|Ludwig Hummel]], to provide his company [[Laco]] with [[ebauche movement]]s. During the Second World War, the factory was badly damaged. To bridge the production, the production was continued in the premises of the metal factory Wolff - which at this time was already in Hummels property - until in [[1949]] his own manufacturing facilities were at his disposal again.

On February 1, [[1959]] Ludwig Hummel sold his shares in the companies [[Laco]] and Durowe to the US Time Corporation. On September 1, [[1965]] this was taken over by the Swiss [[Ebauches SA|Ébauches SA]] in [[Neuchâtel]].

At present the brand DUROWE is owned by [[Schauer, Jörg|Jörg Schauer]], who had produced watches under his own name and who has also acquired the rights to the brand [[Stowa]]. A new movement has been developed the calibre [[Durowe 7440]] with [[three-quarter plate]] and the new regulation device "[[Duoreg]]", devised by Jörg Schauer.
