Roger Dubuis - Excalibur Flying Tourbillon Chronograph Limited Edition NEW
The limited-edition Excalibur Flying Tourbillon Chronograph with single-pusher has been created as a tribute to the Geneva Seal, which celebrated its 125th Anniversary in 2011.
Equipped with the new RD580 calibre and produced in a limited edition of just 8 pieces, this outstanding model was our first timepiece to obtain Geneva Seal certification according to the new, even more demanding specifications.
The Geneva Seal officially came into force in 1886. Bestowed by the State of Geneva on a select few watchmakers, it constitutes the official guarantee that the mechanical watch movement is hand-made, assembled and regulated in Geneva and that it respects the strict requirements of handcrafted excellence in watchmaking. Every component of a movement bearing the Seal is hand-finished and finely decorated, even those that are never exposed to view..
The new requirements outlined by the Geneva Seal – unveiled on 9 November 2011 – focus even more closely on customers and their expectations. While the conditions imposed up to now remain unchanged, new requirements now complement them. Principal change: from now on, the entire watch is Geneva Seal certified, no longer the movement alone. In addition, the Geneva Seal now certifies the functions claimed for the watch, for example water-resistance or the power reserve display.
At ROGER DUBUIS, adoption of the Geneva Seal goes hand in hand with the quest for excellence that has characterised the brand since its creation in 1995. As the company sees it, the Geneva Seal is not an end in itself: it is the starting point in the pursuit of excellence. That is undoubtedly why ROGER DUBUIS is the only watchmaking Manufacture to stamp the Geneva Seal on every single one of its products. It was true yesterday and it will be true tomorrow. A sign that leaves no room for error.
