Geneva watchmaker Roger Dubuis prides itself on being born to be wild. Demonstrating its penchant for excess, and thanks to an integrated Manufacture enabling total independence, the brand that dares to be different has in recent years drawn inspiration from multiple sources. First and foremost, from its own disruptive design ability and unparalleled expertise in the field of Grand Complications. And secondly, from other equally no-holds-barred industries, a commitment to passionate performance and a flagrant disregard for any form of limit.
This has been exemplified in recent years by the founding of partnerships including the Raging Mechanics alliance with car designer and manufacturer, Lamborghini Squadra Corse. The outcome is a line-up of code-breaking timepieces designed for an exclusive tribe on the prowl for off-the-radar experiences.
Firing on all (black) cylinders
Superwatch fans can gear up for a powerful example of what happens when visionary engineers meet incredible watchmakers with the launch of the total-black Excalibur Huracán.
The timepiece comes in a 45-mm case made of black DLC titanium. The automatic RD630 calibre flaunts the same blend of performance, lightness, and security as its namesake. It features a 12° angled balance wheel representing the movement signature associated with Lamborghini Squadra Corse and a 360° oscillating weight inspired by and reproducing the same kind of speed effect as a Huracán wheel. The upper calibre features a strut-bar design bridge reminiscent of those found on the V10 engine of the Lamborghini Huracán supercar itself.
