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.

Patek Philippe, the iconic Swiss watch manufacturer, recently launched its grand "Watch Art" exhibition in Tokyo for 2023.

This grand showcase, marking Patek Philippe's sixth global exhibition, has Japan as its chosen venue - one of the brand's key markets. The public and horology enthusiasts are invited to take part in this immersive experience from June 10 to June 25, 2023.

The exhibition, designed to encapsulate the essence of the last standing independent family-run watchmaker from Geneva, spans an impressive 2,500 square meters. Visitors will feel as though they've been transported directly to the scenic streets of Geneva and the tranquil lakeside, thanks to the detailed decor.

This event, the largest ever arranged by Patek Philippe, brings more than just the allure of the watchmaker's behind-the-scenes workings. It also marks the debut of six limited-edition watches and an extensive collection of timepieces that demonstrate the rare craftsmanship inherent in the brand.

This exhibition not only honors Patek Philippe's storied legacy but also reaffirms its commitment to preserving the art of watchmaking, blending tradition and innovation in each meticulously crafted piece.
