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.

Cuvette

Cuvette

Is a cover or back of the watch case that is used to protect the movement or internal components of the watch. It is typically made of metal and designed to fit the watch movement comfortably, providing a protective barrier against dust, moisture, and other external elements. The cuvette can be opened or removed to access the movement for maintenance or adjustments. It often features engravings or markings that provide information about the watch, such as the brand, model, serial number, or decorative designs.
