Roger Dubuis shifts up yet another gear in 2018 with a selection of ultra-sophisticated new timepieces illustrating its high-octane partnerships with motor racing royalty, Pirelli and Lamborghini Squadra Corsa. Screeching power and precision as its battle cry, the Lamborghini Squadra Corsa collaboration kicked off in 2017 with the creation of a new movement inspired by the design of the Aventador S engine; while the liaison with Pirelli was the starting block for a series of Excalibur models inspired by the tyres that Pirelli supplies to high-end motor racing.
With a shared dedication to providing unique experiences for their clients, the launch pads for these spectacular timepieces have been varied. Against this background and playing its “disruptive” card to full effect, with “client experiences” as the joker, the wild child of Geneva watchmaking was once again set to demonstrate what happens when visionary engineers meet incredible watchmakers at the Run to Monaco 2018.
Fantastic scenery, stunning performance, powerful injection of adrenalin and total luxury from start to finish: the Run to Monaco undoubtedly qualifies as one of life’s extraordinary experiences. Not least because it culminates in one of the world’s most famous and lavish motorsports events in the iconic town by the same name. Connoisseurs of the ultra-select things life has to offer experience the same sense of kinship with the Run to Monaco, as they do with Roger Dubuis watchmaking. And as those who have been following Roger Dubuis motorsport adventures will know, it is no accident that many of the magnificent speed machines hurtling along this unique itinerary will be Lamborghinis. This remarkable journey for supercar owners from all around the world combines exhilarating driving through assiduously planned routes and stylish world-class experiences in breathtaking settings.
Accompanying participants on the Run to Monaco, Roger Dubuis introduced an eight-piece limited colour code Excalibur Spider Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon Red, featuring rubber inlays from certified Pirelli winning tyres having competed in an official race and true to the colour of the winning tyre.
