Resonating Timelessness, Roger Dubuis Revisits Its Heritage with Excalibur Biretrograde Calendar Watch

Unveiled at Watches and Wonders, the distinct and detailed Roger Dubuis Excalibur Biretrograde Calendar DBEX1179 recaptures the brand’s original aesthetic brilliance, delineating itself from the brand’s recent ultramodern and somewhat contentious designs aimed at the ultra-rich segment. The new offering invokes the craftsmanship and nuances resembling the elegance of the brand’s founder, Roger Dubuis. The man, known for his stunningly unique designs, previously worked with reputed brands like Longines and Patek Philippe, leaving his signature on each piece.

Revisiting the roots, Roger Dubuis brings back the famed biretrograde perpetual calendar complication in this model, underscoring a novel representation of time. The watch outshines its counterparts, presenting the brand’s exquisite taste in a more accessible package.

The essence of this timepiece is captured in its dial. Free of excessive intricacies, the Biretrograde Calendar boasts its essentials — time, day, and date — in a breathtakingly elegant manner. The time is efficiently communicated through lumed pink gold hands and accompanied by apt lumed hour plots with pink gold surrounds.
