Looks like RD is getting back on track...
...imho they really lost their way. Good for them.
Hands-on with the “Hommage La Placide”
Given that the “ Hommage La Placide ”, ref. DBHO0612, is a limited edition of only 28 pieces , I went to the Roger Dubuis boutique with limited hope of being able to see one. However, luckily, they had one of the 28 pieces that its happy owner had not yet...
I can only agree that it is very well done and appealing
in its own way. Best, Emmanuel
Beautiful! I don’t mind playful watches.
Many thanks for the live pictures Emmanuel. All the best, Jon
My pleasure, Jon.
I fully understand the appeal of such a watch. Not really for me, but truly wonderful in its own way. Best, Emmanuel
Lucky owner 🍀
It is certainly an intriguing watch. And given the financials of the brand he is generally one of not very many these days 👍🏻
This collector is very fortunate indeed.
I wonder if I don’t prefer the piece unique they’ve made with a guilloche dial ( Roger dubuis: Span Style Color Gray Roger Dubuis Span The Roger Dubuis Hommage Sukoon Al Layl ), but this 28-piece edition is very appealing nonetheless. Best, Emmanuel

I fully understand your feeling.
This strongly dynamic and “busy” dial isn’t for me either, but in the metal I have to say that it’s ver appealing and well done. Best, Emmanuel
It’s a truly appealing piece
and from the discussion I’ve had with the SA, it seems that they are fully aware of what dedicated collectors are waiting for. Best, Emmanuel
That really is a stunning looking Roger Dubuis “Hommage La Placide”.
Whilst i can appreciate what it is it is not my kind of watch, I tend to prefer the shaped Neo Vintage Roger Dubuis watches as I find these round shaped watches with the retro grade features a bit to busy and fussy for me. Marc
I feel exactly like you, Marc.
However, in the metal, if you forget about your personal preferences and accept this extrovert playful design, the watch is really well done and appealing in its own way. Best, Emmanuel
Yes, well done and appealing if
the extrovert playful design resonates with you. Best, Emmanuel
Really a beautiful watch
Not completely my style but I definitely like it. Surprised the low numbers. I’d think they’d try to sell as many as they could.
It isn’t my style either,
but there’s no denying that the watch is very well done and appealing in its own right. Concerning the low numbers, my guess is that this is a first try: before going further back to the roots, they wanted to test the market. Also making it rare is a way ...
