THE OFFICIAL WATCH BUYER'S GUIDE - Elite Traveler

oger dubuis
a passionate collector of fine watches, carlos dias dedicated himself entirely to creating luxurious timepieces in 1993 and founded his own com-
pany in 1995. It was four years later that the brand name roger dubuis first appeared on his timepieces, since dias wanted to wait until he had a
full-fledged manufacture for the creation of a prestigious brand. Today, roger dubuis is under new leadership and a member of the richemont
group of luxury companies. and though its timepieces for men and women cross boundaries to cater to many tastes and styles, they each bear
the brand’s signature elements: innovative design, playing into current trends, exclusivity (all highly complicated watches in precious metal are
limited to editions of 28 pieces), the poinçon de Geneve symbol and high-end technical know-how.

The name Excalibur instantly brings legends of strength and heroism to mind, and those characteristics were exactly what the watch designers
of roger dubuis intended to summon when they created the company’s tenth collection and gave it that moniker. a generous diameter of 39mm
or 42mm, a band secured by triple lugs, a refined crown guard and fluted bezel are iconic features of the Excalibur case. one of the bestselling
Excalibur models, the double Tourbillon, was given a sculptural update in the form of the Skeleton double Tourbillon. The black manual-winding
mechanical skeleton movement, visible inside the 18K white gold case, was reworked preserving only a few simple lines ($246,000).
