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.

Swiss Made

A watch must meet strict criteria to be classified as Swiss. These criteria include that for a watch engine to be manufactured and assembled in Switzerland, at least 60 percent of manufacturing costs must be incurred in Switzerland. In addition, the final inspection of the watch must take place in Switzerland.

The "Swiss Made" designation holds a certain status and signifies that the watch meets high standards of quality, craftsmanship, and precision associated with Swiss watchmaking. It is a label that adds value and credibility to the watch in the eyes of customers and watch enthusiasts.
