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.

maker's mark

The maker's mark is a distinctive symbol, signature, or logo used by the manufacturer or artisan to identify their own product. It is a form of branding that signifies the origin and authenticity of the item.

Usually, the maker's mark is engraved, imprinted, or embossed on the watch case, dial, or other components. It serves as a means for the watchmaker or brand to establish their identity, showcase their craftsmanship, and create a sense of trust and recognition among consumers. The maker's mark can include the brand name, logo, or a unique symbol associated with the manufacturer. It helps differentiate the watch and represents the reputation and quality associated with the specific maker or brand.
