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.

Bracelet

A bracelet in watches refers to the metal strap used to secure the watch on the wearer's wrist. It is attached to the lugs of the watch case and is typically made of flexible and detachable segments that can be adjusted to fit the length of the strap.

The bracelet is usually made of metal such as stainless steel, gold, or titanium. It consists of interconnected links or segments that form a flexible and adjustable band. The links are connected by pins or screws, allowing for resizing and customization to fit different wrist sizes. The bracelet includes a closure mechanism such as a clasp or buckle for secure fastening on the wrist.
