Showcasing some of the most excessive creations yet, the future of fine watchmaking has arrived with a ground-breaking Knights of the Round Table Monotourbillon timepiece, and a remarkable evolution of the Excalibur Monobalancier. Determined to mark the physical return of Watches & Wonders with outstanding masterpieces, Roger Dubuis continues to elevate its art and technical mastery to new heights, always striving for excellence, and constantly challenging itself to go further.

TWELVE KNIGHTS FIGHT GRAVITY WITH THE MIGHTY MONOTOURBILLON

The story of the Knights of the Round Table collection cannot be told to just anyone. One of Roger Dubuis’ most iconic, bold and breathtaking collections, each edition re-interprets the legend through the lens of Hyper Horology. Only the craziest minds dare to combine artistic mastery, horological craftsmanship and contemporary design in this way.

Now for the first time, the valiant knights of King Arthur’s legend are ready to take on the invisible force of gravity with a secret device: one of Roger Dubuis’ pride and joy , the Monotourbillon itself. Ensuring the 8th edition was worthy of representing the lucky number of the late, great Mr. Roger Dubuis himself, the move not only upends the rules of the game, it reshapes the future of Hyper Horology.

The equalising round table is key to the world of King Arthur’s legend. Though this essential set-up is non-negotiable, creating a design born from this concentric requirement provided a challenge the incredible watchmakers were not afraid to take on. Displaying true technical prowess, the Monotourbillon emerges from the centre of the timepiece in a powerful demonstration of advanced mechanics.

Becoming the shield against the gravitational force endangering the heroes and precision alike, the knights stand proudly around this iconic feat of engineering knowing they will tackle their common invisible enemy together. Just as the twelve knights take their duty to protect the realm seriously, the Maison’s quest for peak performance is realised by expanding the diameter of the balance wheel to increase stability and ensure the movement is less sensitive to gravity’s effects.

An accomplishment Roger Dubuis is proud to showcase in one timepiece: the pinnacle of its artistic collection combined with one of its signature complications.

HYPER EXPRESSIVE CRAFT

Defending horological mastery from the threat of gravity is no easy task for the hour-marked heroes cast in Pink Gold 750/1000 and crafted individually through micro-sculpture. Small enough to fit in a timepiece but mighty enough to represent the commitment, passion and boldness Roger Dubuis is known for, each knight is just 6mm tall, created with his own personality and equipped with armour. Such an exceptional timepiece had to feature equally exceptional hands, fully integrated into the circular design.

That’s why two gold markers were chosen to indicate the position of the minute and hour with perfectly centred rotating discs. What’s more, translucent purple blocks carved from Murano glass appear to levitate around the Monotourbillon while the double surfaced flange is carved from a single block of Murano glass too. To realise this effect, playing with no less than eight layers of décor around the dial was needed; a true marvel considering the limited surface area. In keeping with the design, and to respect the position of the knight at 3 o’clock, the setting system is decentred to a position at 2 o’clock. Push down on this function and a small red flag indicates that the timepiece has moved from winding to setting mode.

Available in a 45mm Pink Gold 750/1000 case sealed by a notched bezel, the timepiece is completed with an embossed black calf-leather strap.

Just as being invited to the round table was an extreme honour, such high standards of excellence are rewarded with the Poinçon de Genève; one of the most exclusive stamps of certification in watchmaking today.

Richemont Group - closes stores in russia

 

Richemont Group joins Ukrainian relief efforts & closes stores in russia

The Richemont Group, the parent holding company that owns Cartier, A. Lange & Söhne, Baume & Mercier, IWC Schaffhausen, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Montblanc, Officine Panerai, Piaget, Roger Dubuis, Vacheron Constantin and Van Cleef & Arpels, announced today that it stands with all those affected by the war in Ukraine. 

The Group pledged support for the safety of its employees in the country. Richemont pledged funds to Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières) to help Ukrainian victims. Richemont further adds that it has stopped operations in Ukraine and suspended commercial activities in Russia, with the following statement:

    Richemont's deepest compassion and thoughts go out to our colleagues, their families and friends affected by the tragic situation in Ukraine.

    With the care and wellbeing of our colleagues top of mind, we are in close contact with our people on the ground and ensuring they receive all the financial, logistic and moral support they need.

    Richemont has initiated a significant donation to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). This donation will help provide emergency response activities, basic aid items, and medical supplies and support to people in need in the region. Several of our Maisons and businesses are also supporting humanitarian efforts with additional donations and contributions.

    Given the current global context, it is with regret that we stopped our operations in Ukraine on 24 February and suspended our commercial activities in Russia on 3 March.

ROGER DUBUIS – EXCALIBUR Knights of the Round Table Gold Edition

  

ROGER DUBUIS – EXCALIBUR Knights of the Round Table Pink Gold 45mm Automatic Limited Edition 2022

---

Passion. Commitment. Boldness. The codes of chivalry may be thousands of years old but their virtues are still alive within the minds of many. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTOThat is why excellence continues to be the goal for Roger Dubuis. Yet the Maison’s ultimate mission is its perpetual quest to challenge the rules of the game – and represent the future of Hyper Horology as a result. This mindset is taken to new heights for the latest evolution of the iconic Knights of the Round Table collection. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Setting a new standard, the timepiece is adorned with rare artistic mastery, outstanding craftsmanship and unbridled creativity. Infused with the legacy of a legend, yet designed with the future in mind, it is a powerful statement for the here and now. For the modern wearer who understands how the strength of the past creates power in the present – and beyond. But this story of legendary craft cannot just be told to anyone. It is a privilege reserved for a few. Ones in the know. Bold enough to discover it? Take a seat at the table.

Forging a myth through modern craftmanship

The threat is real. The battle is on. In the mysterious depths of a forgotten place, twelve brave knights prepare to defend their kingdom against the power of gravitational force. The ground is fracturing, the broken earth begins to crack. Sensing danger, the knights position themselves against this invisible enemy. Will they triumph?

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Bringing a legend to life in the most exciting way yet, twelve hour-marked knights cast in 18k 750/1000 pink gold are designed to appear in flux in their own unique postures. This is the true feat of hyper-expressive craftsmanship that took a year and a half to master. Through the complex art of micro-sculpture, each character is complete with medieval armour, plates, shield and helmet, while their customised weapons are drawn ready to fight whatever bursts from beneath their feet. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTOHere lies the stage that required the manual hand-assembly of each and every piece of the glass puzzle. With fine detailing as intricate as this, Roger Dubuis all but proves its métiers d’art credentials. An honour – like those of the knights – reserved for the few, whatever era it’s found within.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Symbolising an imagined scene where the knights prepare to defend themselves from imminent danger, each warrior is settled against a transparent blood-red flange developed from precious Murano glass. This artisanal rarity is also used to construct the dark and shiny texture of the black dial. Part of the great Venetian tradition, Murano glass bends light in uniquely modern and interesting ways.

Armed with horological mastery

The evolved Knights of the Round Table timepiece merges a legend from the past with futuristic design cues to produce a charismatic emblem for right now. Powered by an automatic Monobalancier RD821 calibre, its new contemporary finish and design includes a clean-cut case made from a rich and remarkable 18k 750/1000 pink gold.  

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Just as the fiercely brave knights are loyal to their oath of duty, the Maison is loyal to hyper expressive craftsmanship. Indeed, maintaining the highest standards of excellence included hand-finishing all parts of this 45mm movement with meticulous care, and according to the criteria of the Poinçon de Genève; one of the most exclusive stamps of certification in watchmaking today.

Meanwhile, the crown and its protector are intentionally shaped like the guard of a sword, designed to appear as if a blade is stuck inside the watch, just like the Excalibur sword in the stone that Arthur was crowned a king for pulling free.

To make the most of the knight’s fine detailing, a new transparent sapphire crystal ring under the bezel provides a full view of their elaborate facets. Now, discerning collectors are secretly invited to enjoy all aspects of their features with this hyper exclusive view available only to them.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

On the back of the case, the oscillating weight is completely redesigned with a circular finish comprised of two woven layers of tilted pyramid shapes that create the appearance of castle-stained glass. Inspired by the triangular notches around the edge of the timepiece, this sophisticated design choice provides a mesmeric view of the weight moving inside the mosaic. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Around the display an engraving of the famous oath spoken, as the legend goes, by all knights who sought to defend King Arthur reads: “Around this table, the bravest knights will gather as equals. They will set forth in search of adventure, righting wrongs, protecting the weak and humbling the proud.” Honouring this mythical sentiment, yet designed to mark the cues of the modern world, the wearer can lean into a legend from the past to bring him power in the present.

A black calf leather strap – the first of the Knights of the Round Table collection to feature a Quick Release System – allows for easy interchangeability, while completing the luxurious look and feel of this legendary timepiece fit for the warrior of today.

Only a few privileged have the honour of wearing a Roger Dubuis Knights of the Round Table timepiece; a hyper expressive timepiece that combines the power, myth and know-how of the past and the modern world. That’s why scarcity must reign when it comes to craft like this. With a limited series of 28 pieces available exclusively in Roger Dubuis boutiques, will you become one of the lucky few?

A secret unearthed, a valiant quest embarked upon. But a legend does not die that easily, and neither does danger. What else might emerge from the deepest depths? To be continued….

WHEN TWO WORLDS MERGE, AN ICON EMERGES
INTRODUCING THE EXCALIBUR DR. WOO MONOTOURBILLON

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Great art doesn’t just appear. It takes dedication, innovation and craftsmanship. What truly marks out a masterpiece from the crowd is the way it pushes boundaries and charters new ground.

Searching for inspiration in the most unexpected places is in Roger Dubuis’ DNA. This is the reason the Maison united with the URBAN ART TRIBE, world-famous urban culture artists who share its common values to break the rules, showcase radical expertise and obsess daily over the design of the future.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Now they have been granted access to Roger Dubuis’ most important room, home to the bold and extravagant: the manufacture itself, where they were tasked with reinterpreting the astral signature of the iconic Excalibur Monotourbillon.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Dr. Woo, renowned tattoo artist and rulebreaker in his own domain, is the first of three friends of the Maison to take on this new creative challenge. Bringing his imagination to life, our incredible watchmakers and the visionary artist are proud to unveil the signature Excalibur Monotourbillon reborn in his image.

THE ICONIC EXCALIBUR MONOTOURBILLON

Roger Dubuis continues shaking up the world of fine watchmaking with the reveal of the new Excalibur Monotourbillon earlier this year. Enhanced with meticulous care, the timepiece is reinterpreted with sophistication and flair using modern and technical materials.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Clean cut lines on both case and movement create its strong visual identity. Meanwhile, rebuilding the calibre from bottom to top not only heightens its sense of transparency and 3D depth, but also sees the Roger Dubuis star levitate freely above the barrel. A signature two-line pattern between the notch on the crown and bezel, the star’s arms, the tourbillon’s cage, the hour’s marking on the flange and the hands, all cleverly appear as though they will meet but never do. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

One of the greatest expressions of the watchmaker’s art, the RD512SQ calibre is stunning in its technical prowess. With a non-magnetic Titanium lower tourbillon cage – twice lighter than stainless steel – and a mirror-polished non-magnetic Cobalt Chrome supper tourbillon cage, the weight of the piece is reduced by 16% to optimum effect. As a result, the calibre shows a better resistance to magnetic fields and the power reserve is radically optimised to 72 hours, providing the option of leaving the watch unworn over weekends. Such excellence is not without reward; this dynamic aesthetic is amplified by the Poinçon de Genève, one of the most demanding signature in fine watchmaking that requires the manual decoration of each and every component of the watch, as well as unexpected and antinomic decorations in fine watchmaking, such as sandblasted top surfaces and polished angles that demonstrate Roger Dubuis’ visionary approach.

Reimagined for a contemporary era, an icon continues its ascension in the shape of the Excalibur Dr. Woo Monotourbillon.

AN ICON REIMAGINED BY DR. WOO

As brave as it is determined, Roger Dubuis connects with those who dare to make a difference, and Dr. Woo is one such disruptive soul. Creating hyper-realist needle designs, Dr. Woo has carved a name for himself in the tattoo industry with his signature style; minimalist, monochrome, single needle. Known for having an exceptionally steady hand, his flawless geometric shapes and ultra-fine lines have earned him respect among the international elite, designing for the biggest names in the world of celebrity and beyond. After months of a nourishing collaboration filled with awe and challenges, worlds and horizons merged to give birth to an inspired timepiece for which no compromises were made, and no creative wish was left behind.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Learning that the star was a symbol just as important to Dr. Woo as to the Maison, it became the guiding force throughout the collaboration. Speaking on the project and the work of art created, Dr. Woo says:“Roger Dubuis lent me its signature star to unleash my creativity and merge our two worlds into one unique masterpiece.”

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

In his re-interpretation, Dr. Woo takes the Excalibur Monotourbillon’s astral signature as his launchpad and imagines it anew. Envisioning a rocket ship that keeps pushing forward, the star’s arms represent its travel through time. Yet more than this, it represents the evolution of this work of art and the various paths the partners have taken.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

A special connection with space drove many other aspects of Dr. Woo’s design. Acting as a guide throughout his life, the geometric codes and planets peppered across the dial represent his mental cosmic map. From his world he brings other minimalist graphic symbols too: the moon as an energy source, triangles that bounce forth from the ground, and full circles that represent the infinite connections we all have. By placing them next to each other, Dr. Woo comes up with a new language open to interpretation.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Indeed, the deep and detailed design unveils more layers and secrets every time it is looked at. The spider is one such detail for Dr. Woo. Symbolising strength and protection, it is moved to a new position on the dial of each of the eight limited edition timepieces, making every single one a unique creation.

Other details that can only be enjoyed by the wearer include the time traveller pattern on the case-back, enabling a deeper connection between this extraordinary timepiece and its lucky owner.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Never one to shy away from a challenge, craftsmanship was taken to new heights when the horological artisans had to adopt exceptional methods to fulfil the artist’s aspirations. Inspired by Dr. Woo’s needle work, gold had to be metalized to be etched onto the sapphire glass and recreate the star on the dial, unveiling a fine and meticulous, yet striking design.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

What’s more, ultra-fine lines were laser engraved directly onto a black PVD plate underneath the calibre to reveal the artist’ s cosmic design. A similar process was used on the 18K EON GOLDTM* case-back to embed the artist’s intricate hand-drawn decoration.

Given no detail goes unconsidered, a remarkable embossed strap adorned with Dr. Woo’s sacred symbols also required boundaries to be pushed. Utilising its technical mastery for aesthetic purposes, Roger Dubuis used hot stamping to engrave the black calf leather with a very finely detailed design.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

An expression of non-conformity and extravagance, the fruit of Dr. Woo’s creativity is housed in a 42 mm case. Taking watchmaking to a new dimension, a dimension where time is reinvented, Dr. Woo says creating the timepiece allowed him to see time in a new light: “Time is the most valuable currency we have. It’s up to us to decide how to use it.”

Inspiring creative minds everywhere, the Excalibur Dr. Woo Monotourbillon timepiece is proof that Roger Dubuis is and always will be the most exciting way to experience Hyper Horology as this iconic timepiece reimagined for a contemporary era continues its epic ascension.

The rush of adrenalin, a pounding heart, the sure and certain knowledge that something is about to happen: ENTER THE FUTURE OF HYPER HOROLOGY.

Impertinent, excessive and slightly mad, this is Roger Dubuis. Solidly sustained by an integrated Manufacture, an innovative spirit, and a flagrant disregard for convention, this is what Roger Dubuis is all about! Laugh, scream, roar, and above all, create… for an exclusive tribe that believes in the philosophy of living larger than life at every turn.
