Excellence, technical mastery, and expressiveness are the hallmarks of Roger Dubuis. Embodying the unexpected fusion of distinctive character and watchmaking expertise, Roger Dubuis has been at the forefront of expressive horology since 1995. Driven by remarkable dynamism, the Maison has developed more than 23 calibres to date, showcasing exceptional watchmaking know-how. In a subtle alliance between unbridled creativity and innovation, the Roger Dubuis Manufacture excels in the art of mastering architectural skeleton movements.

Founded in Geneva in 1995, the Roger Dubuis Manufacture is hyperlative by essence. Its entire approach rests on a fusion of tradition and modernity, as well as a philosophy of excellence, consistently validated by the Geneva Seal certification. The tourbillon remains the ultimate complication that commands the Maison’s full attention. 

In 1999, after four years of development, the fully integrated manufacture presented its first in-house movements, all certified with the Geneva Seal—one of the most demanding hallmarks in the watchmaking industry. Determined to match its ambitions with resources, Roger Dubuis soon opened its production workshops on the outskirts of Geneva and joined the prestigious Richemont Group in 2008. 

The Manufacture continues to make a strong impression through various innovations, notably with the introduction of the in-house calibre RD-101. Presented in 2013, this calibre was the world’s first mechanical movement featuring four balance wheels connected by five differentials. In 2015, Roger Dubuis reaffirmed its leadership in the realm of contemporary skeleton watches with the launch of the Excalibur Spider Skeleton and, the following year, dedicated itself to its iconic collection: Excalibur. A year later, the Manufacture unveiled the first movement whose baseplate, bridges, and upper tourbillon cage were made entirely of carbon. 

Since then, Roger Dubuis has remained the watchmaking partner of two legendary institutions in the automotive world: Pirelli and Lamborghini Squadra Corse. These partnerships gave birth to the Excalibur Spider Pirelli and the Excalibur Aventador S, followed by the Excalibur Huracán. The Maison continues to strengthen its presence in the automotive world by becoming the official sponsor of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo. 

In 2020, the Excalibur collection was redesigned with a more contemporary spirit, as reflected in the emblematic timepieces available in Monotourbillon, Double Tourbillon, and Monobalancier versions. Today, beyond aesthetics alone, the Maison continues to connect with the emotions of its friends in a unique way, through meaningful partnerships and legendary storytelling.

Not One To Follow The Crowd - Roger Dubuis

Roger Dubuis has been in the world of Swiss watches for a relatively short period of time, and definitely isn’t one who will follow the crowd. The company itself was only established just over two decades ago, but since then has taken the watch world by storm. When we compare them to other brands they started manufacturing their own movements within a short time period of 4 years. They make a large selection of limited edition watches.

Roger Dubuis as a company feature extraordinary watches that don’t compare to that of many others, and they do it well. These are the ultimate luxury item for the discerning buyer that do not want to follow the crowd, and for whom price is no object. Past models have included the Sympathie Chronograph and Sympathie Perpetual calendar which featured a more square shaped case.

Roger Dubuis - Excalibur Collection Of Watches

The Excalibur watch lineup in the Roger Dubuis range is truly a unique item when we compare it to others. Mainly a lineup for men, we see models equipped with a single and double flying tourbillon. Watches featuring heavily skeletonized movements and more subtle automatic models. Interesting, Roger Dubuis do not offer a chronograph in this line-up.

Models such as the Spider Pirelli feature an incredibly unique black strap. The black strap is no ordinary rubber strap, as the black rubber inlay is from a Pirelli race winning tyre that has competed in real races. A truly unique black strap indeed! Certainly, a watch for those whom status is the ultimate, price is no object and require a piece of outstanding quality. Another watch in the Excalibur lineup that is of considerable note is the Knights Of The Round Table model. This watch features an automatic, in-house caliber, but what sets its apart is the truly unique dial. This is a dial that will definitely not disappoint.

Inspired by the story of King Arthur, the Knights Of The Round Table pays homage to exactly that. Each hour marker on the dial is cast in pink gold and then hand sculpted to be individual, each one representing a different knight. They are seated around a pink gold and blue table and housed inside a beautiful gold case. The watch features a striking blue alligator leather strap and buckle which ties in nicely and makes this a truly special item. This watch is an item of beauty that does not compare to any other and piece that will go down in history as unique. Limited to 28 pieces.

Roger Dubuis - Velvet Collection Of Watches

The Velvet collection of watches are the more feminine lineup for the brand, with all models featuring precious metals and diamonds, a luxury piece indeed. Models come in yellow gold, white gold and pink gold and all feature an automatic movement. Again, a collection where price is not the object, but exclusivity. Models either come on an alligator leather strap and buckle or precious metal bracelet, with a wide range of alligator leather straps in a variety of colours.

Dials also come in an array of colours including white, black and blue, but also in an exquisitely bright flower motif. Certain dial options come in an array of brilliant white diamonds encrusted throughout the entire dial, displaying ultimate luxury for those unconcerned with price, but rather the highest of status.

The Company

Roger Dubuis as a company and a brand have grown enormously since their humble beginnings and they certainly create a product of unparalleled luxury for the men and women who wish to turn heads.
