  • Catalogue Essay

    When Roger Dubuis created his eponymous brand in the 1990s, he was one of the very first brands to make a very liberal use of retrograde indications before the latter became a rather appreciated trend in watchmaking.

    The modern Roger Dubuis brand has hardly anything in common with the one that was created over two decades ago other than its technical prowess and the continued use of retrograde indications.

    Whereas the original Roger Dubuis designs were the epitome of classic, the modern ones are unapologetically bold and brazen.

    One should not be fooled by the present Excalibur Double Tourbillon with its strong, taut and aggressive lines as it houses a technically complex and surprising 343 component mechanism (stamped with the prestigious Geneva Seal): a jump hour with retrograde minutes and a double tourbillon linked with a differential averaging the run of both escapements. The caseback features a power reserve indicator built like a vintage automobile fuel gauge.

    Number 7 of a limited edition of 28 watches, the present Excalibur Double Tourbillon is in excellent condition and offered with its full set of accessories.
