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.

Milanese

It is a type of watch bracelet known for its distinctive mesh design. It takes its name from the city of Milan in Italy, where it originated. The mesh links are typically made of stainless steel.

A Milanese bracelet consists of a series of intertwined links that form a flexible mesh pattern. This gives the bracelet an elegant and durable appearance.

One notable feature of a Milanese bracelet is its adjustability. Instead of fixed links found in traditional bracelets, this bracelet can be easily adjusted to fit the wearer's desired size by moving the clasp along the mesh.
