Roger dubuis watches price1/17/2024 ![]() ![]() The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Liu Wei Monotourbillon is released in a limited edition of 8 pieces, price is EUR 165,500. The 42mm case has a water resistance of 100 m the case, the bezel, the crown, and the ring of the caseback are all made of titanium, as the buckle on a calf leather strap with a quick release system. The tourbillon carriages are made of titanium and cobalt chrome, allowing an improved power reserve of 72 hours. The skeleton tourbillon Calibre RD512 operates at 21,600 vibrations/hour. The mix of regular paints and UV varieties is said to “ create a sophisticated architectural depth under UV light,” with shades of different colours in sync with Liu Wei’s perception of the world’s “ vibrancy and energy.” The third and final layer is a sapphire glass caseback, laser-engraved with horizontal lines and hand-filled with UV paint. The artist redesigned the second layer, the star-shaped bridge of the manually wound RD512 movement, and it was made thinner to accommodate the concept. The lines are then filled by hand, in an exact process, with every line dried completely only then the next one could be painted by the craftsperson. The first layer is a transparent sapphire glass engraved with vertical lines on both sides. Boldness and extravagance are the brand’s signatures, and determination. Its audacious creations, firmly anchored in the 21st century, embody substantial expertise expressed through the finest watchmaking mechanisms combined with powerful and daring designs. Roger Dubuis created a clever three-layer structure for the Excalibur Liu Wei Monotourbillon to produce an astonishing visual effect. Roger Dubuis has been at the forefront of contemporary Haute Horlogerie since 1995. “ Art is about seeing the world anew and experimenting with different ways of creating that world,” says Liu Wei, and Roger Dubuis watchmakers answered the challenge to create the perfect way to reflect the artist’s vision. The work by this contemporary Chinese artist is said to reinterpret “ the astral signature of the iconic Excalibur MT.” So it is the Excalibur MT that was “recrafted and reshaped” last year, which allowed for the artist’s expression. Roger Dubuis provided a canvas to welcome the reproduction of Liu Wei’s original work and created inside the walls of the Geneva manufacture painting atelier. Or this new artistic collaboration, the Excalibur Liu Wei Monotourbillon. Still, Roger Dubuis and its Excalibur watches remain a favourite for sheer creativity and rebel spirit paired with engaging, yet sometimes crazy, engineering solutions. ![]() It is mechanically complex, flamboyant, excessive and expensive, so out of reach for the general population. The manufacture Roger Dubuis has gone a long way before settling to build the “ future of hyper-horology.” The brand’s vision of this future is a radical one.
