Bold Skeleton Design Meets Maison's Pride

The design of this entire pocket watch, including its stand and chain, is as impactful and revolutionary as its advanced skeletonized mechanism. Including the visible Quatuor movement, which forms part of it, it is perhaps the most avant-garde creation in watchmaking history. It possesses a boldness akin to futuristic Gothic architecture. This timepiece alone is worthy of being highlighted as a topic of the watchmaking world this year.

Double Tourbillon Meets Diamonds in a New Dimension

As the name “Star of Infinity” suggests, a large star set with 34 diamonds, totaling approximately 0.96 carats, shines above the double flying tourbillon. Furthermore, the case is set with 246 baguette-cut diamonds, totaling approximately 12.64 carats, which also emit a brilliant sparkle. The combination of the skeletonized movement's structure and the open space expresses an infinite universe where stars shine. This model embodies Roger Dubuis's new dimension, where function and decoration are fused at an even higher level.

Feminine Skeleton Inspired by the Legend of King Arthur

The design motif is the ivy leaf, which symbolizes strong affection, longing, loyalty, and eternal devotion, and remains green in all seasons, found in the mystical Forest of Brocéliande, a significant setting in the legend. Pink and purple semi-precious stones add vibrant colors as autumnal leaves, entwined with the leaf as it integrates with the tree. The bezel is set with 60 baguette-cut diamonds totaling approximately 1.84 carats, the lugs with 48 baguette-cut diamonds (approximately 0.82 carats), and the crown with a single rose-cut diamond (approximately 0.42 carats). Luxuriously set gemstones add splendor to the legendary world.

Stone Dial Evoking the Legend of King Arthur

Among the new models announced in Hong Kong, this “Excalibur,” the simplest, is also one inspired by the legend of King Arthur. Its distinguishing feature is the stone dial, finished with hand-engraved craftsmanship.

This originates from an episode in the legend, “King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table,” where the magical sword “Excalibur,” the symbol of Arthur's legitimacy to rule Britain, is enshrined within a stone after the king's death, to be passed down to a future British monarch.

The texture of a stone dial is entirely different from other materials. It resembles a historical structure built from stone. For avid readers of the King Arthur legend, it is a timepiece that reveals more depth the longer one gazes at it. It is also a piece that showcases Roger Dubuis's characteristic bold use of materials.
