At first glance, the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Single Traveling Tourbillon, recently unveiled at Watches & Wonders, looks reassuringly familiar. However , close examination reveals a watch that is completely new as well as brimming with ultra-refined details. Interestingly, as Angus Davies discovers, this most recent model incorporates much mechanical intellect, yet reveals many of its thoughts and horological machinations.
When Roger Dubuis Excalibur Dual Flying Tourbillon founded his eponymous company in 1995, he must have overheard the particular doomsayers talk of the so-called ‘quartz crisis’ and believed voices prophesying about the impending demise of the traditional horological industry industry. However , thankfully, Mortel Dubuis, together with Carlos Dias, still embarked on their horological adventure, thereby creating a remarkable luxury brand.

From the outset, Roger Dubuis decided to focus on making exemplars associated with Haute Horlogerie, an certain domain which at the time was dominated by centuries-old Constructions. Where Roger Dubuis thought to differentiate itself from other brands was through combining the best craftsmanship, materials and know-how, typical regarding Haute Clocks, with neoteric, sometimes avant-garde, design. Furthermore, the company produced its first in-house calibre in the 90s, a supremely refined movement stamped with the Poinçon de Genève (Hallmark of Geneva).
