Roger Dubuis Honours its Founder with New Hommage La Placide Commemorating Brand's 30th Anniversary

The name Roger Dubuis is synonymous with stellar horology and evocative design, and the brand’s latest offering, the Hommage La Placide, is no exception. This exceptional timepiece serves as a fitting tribute to brand’s founder 30 years after its inception, drawing heavily upon Mr. Dubuis’ influences and personal journey as a watchmaker.

The 38mm watch is crafted in a luxurious 18K pink gold case and features a dial constructed in five layers. It proudly presents a distinctly ‘Leman Blue’ dial, a homage to Lake Geneva, seen daily by Mr. Dubuis during his academic years. Mother-of-pearl segments encircle the calendar displays, while a moonphase is gracefully situated over a base of blue aventurine with delicately curved 18k yellow-gold moons. The biretrograde layout, inspired by the 1995 original, features hands sweeping outward and snapping back to zero, providing a nostalgic nod to the brand’s history.

True to its exclusivity, this timepiece comes in a strictly limited series of only 28 pieces, each priced at €115,000. The watch is mounted on an interchangeable blue leather strap, complete with a matching Roger Dubuis buckle. The Hommage La Placide not only cements the brand’s legacy in luxury watchmaking, but also serves as a heartfelt tribute to the founder’s personal journey, influences, and contributions to the field of horology.
