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.

Pequignet

Pequignet was founded in 1973 by Émile Pequignet in Morteau, a French town nestled in the mountains near the Swiss border. A self-taught visionary, Émile Pequignet established the brand with the ambition to create distinctive timepieces that honor French heritage and craftsmanship.

The brand quickly gained recognition. In the early 2000s, Pequignet embarked on an ambitious journey to become a fully integrated manufacture. By inaugurating its own Haute Horlogerie laboratory in 2008, the brand began designing and producing its movements entirely in-house. This dedication led to the introduction of the Calibre Royal in 2011, followed by the Calibre Initial in 2021.
