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.

Aera

Founded in 2018 by a small yet passionate group of watch enthusiasts, Aera set out with a singular mission: to blend the rugged, utilitarian spirit of classic tool watches with modern design sensibilities. Drawing inspiration from the 1950s and 1960s, Aera's creations honor the functionality and durability of watches worn by pioneers of the past, but with a fresh, contemporary twist.

What started as a vision born from long nights of brainstorming and planning has now blossomed into a brand that stands out not only for its design philosophy but also for its commitment to quality. At the heart of every Aera timepiece is the use of 904L stainless steel, a premium material renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance and ability to achieve a superior polish. This high-grade steel, often found in the collections of the world’s most prestigious luxury watchmakers, forms the backbone of Aera's cases, bezels, crowns, and even strap buckles, ensuring durability and a lasting, refined finish.
