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.

Formal Watch

A formal watch is a type of watch designed to be worn with formal attire or elegant fashion. It is characterized by its sleek and classic design, often having a slim and elegant profile, a simple dial, and a thin case. This is done to highlight elegance when wearing formal clothing.

Typically, formal watches do not have additional complications or sports functions, as their main purpose is to serve as an attractive accessory that complements special occasions, business meetings, or formal events. The design of a formal watch focuses on aesthetics and the ability to enhance the overall appearance of the person wearing it during formal occasions.
