Multiple parallels can be drawn between the world of motorsports and that of Roger Dubuis - dedication to performance and precision, determination to stay ahead of the pack. Their natural affinities are also based on a shared and relentless obsession with incredible mechanics - engines or movements.
Moreover, this compelling enthusiasm for technical complexity is backed by an equally powerful penchant for sophisticated design conveyed through streamlined bodywork as well as in the sleek exteriors of Roger Dubuis timepieces.
Manufacture Roger Dubuis has opted to sign a partnership as primary sponsor of the FFF Racing Team. The Hong Kong-based team, composed of both professional and amateur drivers, is dedicated to providing a “professional platform for the discerning driver to race alongside the elite in the most prestigious GT racing arenas in Europe and Asia”.
This cooperation will encompass 15 races in 2016 across Europe and Asia, notably as part of the Le Mans Cup raced on such legendary tracks as Imola and Le Mans, as well as the GT Asia championship with events held in Korea, Japan and China. The latter will also host the GT World Cup in Macau and a dedicated FFF event in Shanghai where Roger Dubuis will be present!
Within the framework of this partnership, five GT supercars (two Lamborghinis and three McLarens used by FFF), driven by five professional drivers, will be competing in the colours of the Manufacture.
To mark this cooperation, Roger Dubuis is issuing an eight-piece limited edition of its Excalibur Quatuor.
This model features pink gold accents creating a striking contrast with the charcoal rhodium-plated finishing as well as with the black DLC titanium case. The Excalibur Quatuor Limited Edition sporting the FFF logo at 12 o’clock displays its revolutionary means of compensating for the earth’s gravity by means of four sprung balances together with five differentials.
These bespoke timepieces will be presented during the Shanghai and Macau events and the inimitable Quatuor design will also be featured in selected areas.
