To celebrate the new year, and reconnect with traditional cultural beliefs, the brand that dares to be different is introducing two exciting new timepieces reinterpreting powerful symbols through unmatched craftsmanship: enter Excalibur Long, representing the majestic Dragon and Excalibur Feng, embodying the gracious Phoenix.

The future of Hyper Horlogy

First in the world to introduce a double flying tourbillon, this contemporary architectural caliber is the extreme expression of our obsession: recreate the codes of hyper horology.

This newly introduced symbolic expression of time is a true testimonial to the ‘tradition reinvented’ spirit of Roger Dubuis and the unmistakable signature of the Maison: a perfect blend of visual magic and technical performance. Above and beyond its hypnotic aesthetic appeal, this calibre ensures an enhanced precision thanks to its differential system serving to average out the rate of the two tourbillons.

Brought to life in a 45mm masterpiece, the iconic Excalibur Double Flying Tourbillon is this time interpreted with an unbridled artistic creativity where 18K rose gold reigns supreme. With its head placed at 12 o'clock and its body and limbs intertwining with mechanical parts of the dial, the majestic dragon seems to be playing with this grand complication in a very daring way.

As a flamboyant stage-setting to the highly technical nature of this tourbillon caliber, a 36mm case is here engraved with 18K rose gold. The already extraordinary allure of the Exclabur Feng is then completed with a bezel set with💎48 brilliant-cut white diamonds.

Every part of the Feng, from the feathers to its body movement, has been fastidiously refined. Only by striking an obsessively balance in proportion and layout can the fascinating, vivid image of the Feng be brought to life, allowing it to spread its wings, with its plumage swirling around the tourbillon placed at the 7 o'clock mark.
