pifpafAmong the few novelties seen before the SIHH, Roger Dubuis strikes hard: he presents an exceptional complication which revolutionizes the solution brought by the tourbillon! A device never seen in this architecture and never miniaturized to a level allowing its integration into a wristwatch! (Some vintage marine chronometers featured a quadruple escapement device) To be able to grasp the value of the Excalibur Quatuor, one has to understand the problem which the tourbillon was designed to address. As everybody ... ...">Story

Ornatus-MundiLast Year's (2012) Star of the Show: The Pulsion Collection (all 2012 images from Oliver) : RD introduced this new collection. Its meant to be their sportive offering with open-worked dials and a sapphire crystal that acts as bezel at the same time. An interesting solution that gives the watch a light yet tough appeal.

Ornatus-Mundiafter our previous teaser: Teaser #1: Declaration of Independence now comes teaser #2: the four-leaved clover (image again taken from the web): The four-leaved clover is (at least in Europe) a symbol of luck. In nature it is extremely rare and considered beautiful. In the context of our mysterious object of desire it certainly alludes to its rarity but has also a very direct meaning...

I do not intend to write a report on the visit - not due to the fact its was lacking interesting impressions - quite on the contrary! It was an eye-opening visit which will result in a full series of articles... but my mouth and my keyboard .....">Story
