Roger Dubuis: The Year Of Excalibur…and Carbon

By Martin Green
Roger Dubuis has declared 2017 the year of Excalibur and rightfully so! The collection is expanded with several exciting new models, of which two are the result of a new partnership with Pirelli.

What do we know about Roger Dubuis? Well, to make it short, Roger Dubuis is a proper manufacture of Haute Horlogerie, creating extremely refined skeleton movements, and being the only brand to have its entire production stamped with the Hallmark of Geneva (and that alone must already give an indication of the beauty of the production…).

Well, all of that can be seen in the latest addition to the catalogue, the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Skeleton Flying Tourbillon, which now receive colored stones incrusted in its rubber bezel.
