We delve deep into the many factors of why this intelligent and timeless brand should be your next investment piece.
One of a Kind
It takes an extremely talented team to create a single Roger Dubuis watch. Roger Dubuis calibers are made up of several hundred components finished by hand. Taking pride in small productions with a limited 88 pieces of the new Excalibur Huracán Performante to be exact, exclusivity is of prime importance to the brand and its creators. This innovative timepiece features a standout honeycomb motif, emphasized by the fierce beauty of its bold crimson exterior that offers unbeatable performance, incredible lightness, and world-renowned security that makes its namesake supercar such a world-beater of an automobile. Bearing the Performante Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tyre-pattern design strap, the Excalibur Huracán Performante represents the unleashed creativity of Roger Dubuis at its finest: unconventional and individual in concept, high-tech and avant-garde in execution–a statement of unparalleled quality, precision, and sophistication.
Craft and Caliber
Roger Dubuis has collaborated with Lamborghini resulting in a watch inspired by the distinctive design and the materials of the Lamborghini cars. It also embarked on another collaboration with Pirelli producing timepieces that feature intricate rubber inlays from certified Pirelli winning tires. Similarly, the Roger Dubuis’ Excalibur Huracán and Excalibur Huracán Performante represent the ongoing search for perfection that drives the incomparable maison to greater heights. A mesh of art, function, and sophistication, these two revolutionary timepieces are the latest expression in modern horology–clockwork designed to challenge the meaning of time itself in the future of today.
