ROGER DUBUIS ENRICHES THE EXCALIBUR COLLECTION WITH A DOUBLE TOURBILLON SKELETON WATCH

Thanks to its innovative design and powerful distinctive features, the EXCALIBUR case is one of the brand’s icons and has successfully housed all the Manufacture’s movements, both complicated and highly complicated, from the triple time zone function to the minute repeater combined with the flying tourbillon.

However, if one model has gained celebrity status in ROGER DUBUIS’ brief history, it has been the Double Tourbillon Excalibur. The ROGER DUBUIS Manufacture has continued to refine the architecture of its skeleton movements.

The white gold case opens onto the magnificent anthracite movement stamped with the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark. Its hand-sewn crocodile strap features a gold folding clasp that matches the case. The highly complicated double tourbillon remains very popular with haute horlogerie enthusiasts and collectors. This unique model enriches the Excalibur collection, while offering further proof of the Manufacture’s skills in reinterpreting the traditional watch culture.
