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.

It can be incorporated into a watch as a decorative element on the dial, as hour markers, or as part of the bezel or case design. Its presence adds a touch of elegance and luxury to the watch, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Kunzite is highly valued for its beauty and rarity, and its use in watches reflects the attention to detail and craftsmanship in creating exquisite timepieces.
