DESCRIPTION

  • Excalibur ramps up its avant-garde engineering credentials for a high-paced new age of adventure

    Ready to rumble

    2017 sees Roger Dubuis take the fast track with the introduction of stunning world premieres as well as the big reveal of its brand-new alliance with Pirelli, a perfect match on all key levels and a kindred spirit in delivering money can’t buy experiences. A stunning embodiment of what can happen when visionary engineers meet incredible watchmakers.

    Roger Dubuis has accustomed its followers to the annual unveiling of world premieres from its ever-busy innovation pipeline, which represents the almost ‘organic’ result of the Manufacture’s ongoing investments in Research & Development.

    2017 is no exception, as the Manufacture introduces its ‘Dare to be Rare’ concept summing up its bold approach to watchmaking and its determination to take the road less travelled. This perpetually forwardlooking attitude is expressed through a combination of progressive complications and disruptive materials’ inspired by performance-oriented industries.

    These overarching principles are vividly summed up in two ground-breaking Excalibur models developed in collaboration with Pirelli, as well as through a pair of world-first innovations. The Maison also proudly presents dynamic new iterations of models that have already found their place on techand design-lovers’ wrists around the world.

    Excalibur, the iconic and deliberately extravagant Roger Dubuis collection, is embedded in the DNA of the Maison. It epitomises the boldly adventurous nature of a Manufacture that has always been determined to stay several laps ahead of the pack. It also provides the perfect showcase for the Astral Skeleton principle of star-patterned skeleton movements, now frequently paired with the signature Spider concept that extends openworking beyond the calibre to encompass key external watch elements.

    Visitors to the SIHH will immediately pick up the engineering-driven vibe rocking the Roger Dubuis world and entirely in sync with the explosive, iconoclastic stage-setting. The deliberately destabilising decor showcases the Maison’s talent for shattering codes and blasting conventions, fragmenting them into apparently disparate splinters and then reassembling them in entirely novel ways – as exemplied by a stunningly avant-garde visual interpretation of the Manufacture itself.

    The Roger Dubuis ‘disruptive materials and progressive complications’ mantra is forcefully expressed through its ongoing challenge to all-comers: Dare to be Rare. Earth, water, air and re: the elemental, alternately smouldering and scorching forces of aesthetic and technical designs are brought to blazing life in a devastatingly beautiful Excalibur eruption.

    Craters, ssures, seething magma, an interplay of geometry and asymmetry reminiscent of the Astral Skeleton signature… all herald a tectonic shift, a quantum leap into the next Excalibur aeon.

    Excalibur Quatuor Cobalt Micromelt ®

    When it comes to progressive complications, the hand-wound 590-part RD101 Quatuor movement – beating at a frequency of 4x4 Hz (115,200 vph) with its four sprung balances and ve differentials – is as progressive as they get… Not to mention outstandingly fast and efcient, since it achieves instantaneously what the tourbillon takes a full minute to accomplish – namely compensating for the rate variations caused by the effects of gravity on a watch. 2017 will see it welcome its very own disruptive material: cobalt chrome.

    This high-performance alloy clothing the 48 mm-diameter case, bezel, case-back and crown is produced using the extremely exclusive Micromelt® technology that represents just 0.1% of worldwide metallurgy. Widely associated with aeronautics and astronomy, this process involves melting and atomizing the alloy into a ne powder by introducing the molten metal to a high-pressure stream of gas using a dedicated vacuum induction melting gas atomization unit.

    This powder is then blended and screened to a controlled diameter, poured into canisters that are sealed and subjected to hot isostatic pressing to achieve full denseness, before being hot-worked to produce hot-rolled bars and then processed to nished size.

    As well as the improved chemical homogeneity of this material, Roger Dubuis naturally appreciates the fact that it enables the creation of speci c alloys (such as metal and nonmetal) that other techniques do not permit, as well as resulting in controlled porosity that in turn ensures stabilized alloy quality.

    However, as always in making such technical and aesthetic choices, the Manufacture adopts this state-of-the-art material with watch wearers rmly in mind, since it is 100% biocompatible, extremely corrosion-resistant thanks to the spontaneous formation of a passive protective lm, as well as outstandingly durable thanks to its multiphase structure and the precipitation of carbides.

    This gleaming cobalt chrome makes a pleasing contrast with the blue PVD-coated movement barrel cage and bridges, as well as the dial, hour-marker and alligator leather strap.

    Dynamic red and white accents are provided by the printed speedometer-style minute track, the white gold skeleton hands with Super-LumiNova®- lled red tips, as well as the red strap stitching.
