WATCHES & TIMEPIECES 103
THE TOURBILLON
For Mr. Roger Dubuis, a tourbillon was the perfect way to gain extra space in a calibre- where more complications and aesthetic expression could be added. The Excalibur Grande Complication is the best demonstration of that spirit.
Positioned between 5 and 6 o’ clock, it is a flying construction, like all Roger Dubuis tourbillons, and is built in signature style. From the mirror-polished cage inspired by the Celtic Cross to the ingenious use of lightweight, non-magnetic titanium, it neatly encompasses the Maison’ s innovative and spellbinding approach.
Indeed, this gravity-defying mechanism has now become an emblem of the Maison and a familiar sight within Roger Dubuis craftsmanship.
A RARITY TO OWN
Making its world debut at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025, the Excalibur Grande Complication is limited to 8 pieces only, making it a rare creation for an exclusive group of afficionados.
The 45 mm pink gold case is set on an interchangeable 3D brown calfskin leather strap featuring a pink gold pin buckle, while offering an unrestricted view of the mechanics inside through a transparent sapphire crystal caseback.
Roger Dubuis has always been committed to crafting timepieces that could not be found anywhere else. As the Maison reaches its 30th anniversary, this timepiece stands as a grand tribute to that dream, and its co-founders’ alternative approach to watchmaking that still sparks the imagination today.
