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.

Tiger Eye

Tiger's eye is a quartz gemstone commonly used in watch dials and decorative items. It displays distinct fibrous bands that create an anomalous effect, as a moving band of light appears on the surface of the stone. With its golden to reddish brown hue and tiger-like stripes, Tiger's Eye adds elegance and unique visual appeal to the watches.
