Hello ND,
As I understand it both companies get their watches from the same sourse, who's name, of course, I forgot. Steinhart had to establish themselves in the USA using a different name due to copyright issues as I understand it. They chose Debaufre. This is all from memory so don't take it to the bank.
This is correct. Steinhart sells under its name in Europe and Debaufre is the name created for the U.S. Yes, there was a forum for Debaufre. But, it went away when there was little or no contact from the new owners.
Grovana supposedly makes the cases for the Ocean and GMT diver-style watches. Robert watches (still in business) also has some connection (or did) to Steinhart.
