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.

Fears Bristol

The British brand Fears Bristol was established in 1846 by Mr. Edwin Fear. It is a well-known watch brand with a rich heritage and a long history, being one of the oldest watch companies. Over the years, the brand has undergone numerous changes and challenges, including expanding its premises and changing its name to Fears Limited. It has also successfully navigated through the difficulties posed by World War II.

In 2021, the brand celebrated its 175th anniversary, which stands as a testament to its enduring legacy and fine craftsmanship. As part of the celebration, Fears unveiled the Archival 1930 watch, which is a reinterpretation of a classic timepiece in the Art Deco style. This watch reflects the brand's commitment to honoring its history while embracing contemporary design elements.

In 2022, the brand relocated its headquarters and showroom to the city of Bristol, which holds historical significance for the brand. This move further strengthens the brand's connection to its roots and provides a suitable backdrop for its operations and display.
