Roger Dubuis Gears Up With Excalibur Spider Huracán

Roger Dubuis is launching a new Excalibur Spider in collaboration with Lamborghini. The watch is once again an exemplary mix of the DNA of both brands, combining cutting-edge design with innovative materials. Joining the Excalibur Spider Huracán collection, its latest addition gives center stage to Ceramic Composite Fiber (CCF).

Roger Dubuis Makes You Customise The Excalibur Spider Pirelli With A Single Click

In the world of racing, colors are of great importance. Not only to recognize your opponent or signals from the stewards at the side of the track, but also when it comes to your tires. Brands like Pirelli use color codes for each compound, making it easy to see the difference. Like a race car, switching between the various types of tires is normal during the different stages of a race. While a super-soft tire might be great to set a fast lap, a harder compound is needed if you need to drive a longer stint. As a partner with Roger Dubuis, the two brands thought that when this is possible with high-performance race cars, why not with watches?

With its two flying tourbillons, has this Roger Dubuis always been an instant eyecatcher. It has always been generous in showing its technical supremacy through its skeletonized movements. It has always been a watch that united past, present, and future in a single creation. While Roger Dubuis pushed the envelope with tantalizing design and innovative materials, were all Double Flying Tourbillons awarded the prestigious Geneva Seal.

Roger Dubuis And Kaz Shirane Join Forces For Stunning Excalibur Superbia

Roger Dubuis is a brand that loves a challenge, wither it be technical or aesthetically of nature. For the new Excalibur Superbia, the brand joined forces with internationally renowned Japanese artist and architect Kaz Shirane and created a gemstone setting unlike any seen before. Six hundred diamonds and blue sapphires, with a total of 11 carats, decorate the case. However, they do not feature a baguette or brilliant-cut, but a tetrahedron cut instead. This triangular form is incredibly complex to cut and represents the diamond's basic atomic building blocks' shape.

Roger Dubuis Launches Full Black Version Of The Excalibur Huracán

Roger Dubuis is one of the few brands that have a very successful partnership with a leading car brand. Perhaps it is because it shares the same outlook on product development with Lamborghini, or that they have a similar style.

One of these watches is based on the Huracán, Lamborghini's V10 powered sports car which replaced the Gallardo in 2014.

Haute Time’s Hottest Time Only Watches Of 2019

Two or three hands that tell the time, sometimes with a date complication added to the mix; the majority of the watches produced these days follow this format. Nearly every brand has multiple models that follow this concept in their collection, which makes standing out, or even going a step further and making a mark on the industry, is challenging. The following four watches did, however, just that in 2019:

Roger Dubuis Lights Up The Dark With Excalibur Blacklight Trilogy

Roger Dubuis has always had a strong drive to innovate, not only in a technical but also in an aesthetic sense. This means that they need to think outside the box in all different dimensions and keep their eyes open to new materials, but also new applications of existing materials. With the Excalibur Blacklight, they took the lab-grown sapphire crystals, commonly used in the watch industry as the 'jewels' or 'rubies' which are used inside the movement as bearings for the gears and other parts that are prone to wear, and applied them in a completely different way.

When A Need For Speed Results In An Extraordinary Watch

A watch that explains best how they achieve this is inspired by the latter and named the Excalibur Aventador S
