40 WATCHES & TIMEPIECES
The considered details extend further to the Roger Dubuis and Swiss Made logos , which are , for the first time , filled with powdered SuperLuminova *. This striking technique creates three looks for this element of the timepiece : silver by day , green by night , and blue under UV light .
THE ART OF HYPER- PERFORMANCE
One of the greatest expressions of the watchmakers ’ art and technical talent is the RD512SQ calibre itself . By reducing the tourbillon weight with titanium and cobalt chrome , the power reserve is radically optimised to 72 hours , providing the option of leaving the watch unworn over weekends . Proving no detail goes unconsidered , non-magnetic material is used inside the tourbillon to better serve the wearer and improve their experience .
Hand-finished with meticulous care , the timepiece is sealed with fine watchmaking ’ s most demanding signature . The Poinçon de Genève is the ultimate standard in excellence and expertise , and Roger Dubuis ’ visionary approach is found within its uniquely unexpected and antinomic decorations , such as its circular-brushed top surfaces and polished angles .
Underscored by rarity and limited to just eight pieces , the Excalibur Liu Wei MT is housed in a 42 mm titanium grade 5 case and mounted on a black calf leather strap , interchangeable with a Quick Release System for ultimate comfort and flexibility .
Together with its friends , the Maison shows what happens when rules are rejected and creativity is unleashed . In bringing a multitalented artist together with incredible watchmakers , Roger Dubuis proves once again it is unquestionably the most exciting way to experience Hyper Horology™ .
