COLLECTOR'S PIECES<br />
TIMEPIECE<br />
Roger Dubuis<br />
Excalibur Aventador S<br />
FOR HIM<br />
Roger Dubuis brings rock ’n’ roll to the otherwise sedated universe of Swiss mechanical watchmaking. Credit in no small part<br />
is owed to its founder, Mr. Roger Dubuis, who founded the brand in the mid-Nineties and who unfortunately passed away<br />
last month. He’s left a rich legacy for the brand that includes avant-garde designs and a reputation for being the only<br />
watchmaker in the world which ensures that 100 per cent of the watches it manufactures are certified with the Geneva seal.<br />
The latest is this Excalibur Aventador S. The 45mm case is made from carbon fibre, the same grade used in the<br />
construction of Lamborghinis. The self-winding mechanical calibre has been skeletonized to reduce the weight of the<br />
timepiece. The power reserve indicator has been cleverly integrated into that skeletonized movement and is visible<br />
between one and two o’clock on the dial. This wristwatch is limited to only 88 pieces and another version with orange<br />
accents (instead of yellow) is limited to just eight pieces. Let’s say the chance of you seeing one on someone’s wrist is as<br />
good as randomly spotting two Lamborghinis in the wild in a single day.<br />
