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.

Vintage

Vintage watches refer to timepieces that belong to a previous era or time period, typically with an age of at least 20 years. These watches were manufactured and released many years ago and have since gained a sense of historical significance. Often, vintage watches possess unique designs and mechanical movements.

Vintage watches may exhibit aesthetic elements such as dial designs, case shapes, and materials that are less commonly seen in modern watchmaking. These watches are appreciated not only for their functionality but also for their historical value, rarity, and overall charm.
