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.

Furlan Marri

Furlan Marri is a new watch brand founded by Andrea Furlan and Hamad Al-Marri in 2021, which caused a stir in the watch world last year with their mecha-quartz-driven chronograph models. Although the brand gained recognition, some enthusiasts were hesitant about the quartz movement. However, Furlan Marri has launched a new model, the Ref. 2116-A Black Sector, which features a fully mechanical movement and a classic-styled stainless steel case.

The watch has a deep black, sector-style dial with silver or light-grey printed tracks and scales, Breguet-style numerals, leaf-shaped hour and minute hands, and a needle-like central seconds hand. The watch is powered by an automatic movement by La Joux-Perret, which is based on the manufacturer's G100 ébauche and has 24 jewels and a power reserve of 68 hours.
