The Excalibur Bi-Retrograde Calendar by Roger Dubuis

This year, Roger Dubuis celebrates its 30th anniversary, and for the occasion, the company pays tribute to its co-founder’s favourite complication: the bi-retrograde display.

This function, previously featured in the Excalibur Grande Complication alongside a dozen other highly complex mechanisms, takes centre stage once again. The Maison has also introduced a less complicated, more classic edition to further honour the bi-retrograde display.

Also referred to as “the ecliptic counters” by the Maison a nod to their elliptical shape and distinctive role in indicating the months and date the design showcases a symmetrical dial layout. Enhanced by refined detailing, it pays homage to the Maison’s early creations from 1996.

MeisterSinger is the world’s leading brand in single-hand watches, renowned for its award-winning designs and exceptional Swiss craftsmanship. The brand is distinguished by its unique approach to time display, forgoing traditional minute and second hands in favor of a single hand that indicates the current moment, embodying a philosophy of simplicity and precision.

Ahead of the Watches and Wonders 2025 exhibition, and to mark its first participation, the independent brand unveils a special and striking edition of its iconic single-hand design, the Edition Black One. This timepiece features an all-black design inspired by one of nature’s most powerful forces volcanoes.

The watch comes in a 41.5mm stainless steel case, coated with a DLC black layer, enhancing its durability and scratch resistance. A sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating ensures optimal clarity. The case back, secured with six screws, features a mineral glass window printed with Edition Black One 100/100, along with a design inspired by volcanic formations.

The dial is finished in deep black with a grained textured surface reminiscent of volcanic rock, displaying time in MeisterSinger’s signature single-hand style, indicating both the hours and minutes. The hour markers are highlighted in yellow, accompanied by a white minute track for enhanced contrast and readability. Additionally, the numerals and indices are coated with a luminous material that glows in the dark for improved visibility. Each indice between the hours represents a five-minute interval, with thicker indices marking quarter-hour and half-hour positions.

The watch is powered by the SW200 caliber from Sellita, an automatic movement operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and offering a 38-hour power reserve.

It is fitted with a durable yellow rubber strap that complements the dial numerals, with an additional black rubber strap as an alternative option. Both straps feature a stainless steel pin buckle.

The MeisterSinger Edition Black One is limited to 100 pieces and is priced at €2,190, approximately AED 8,300.
