Roger Dubuis

PuristSPro Moderator Patrick_y tries his best to convey his experience as a guest of the Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini event, hosted by Roger Dubuis for VIP Guests and Press. A QUICK HISTORY OF THE BRAND Roger Dubuis was a visionary watchmaker who pioneere...  

Looks like a great event. Cars and Watches good mix. Will dig back in the p[post and look at the watches. Thanks for covering the event. Bill

Everyone in attendance was "filled with personality" and almost all were well versed in watches. One of the guests, a lady, who owns over a dozen watches (among many other things) actually described a Patek Philippe as "boring" and "you see them everywher... 

What do you get for the person who has everything? An experience worth remembering!

I can't read the time on any of those watches. I kinda like the case and crown design, but those skeleton dials and hands are too hipster for me I guess.

It's really bad to see the time in the photos; it's a bit better in person. The case and crown design is actually very pleasing. I really like Riddler's new Roger Dubuis in gold. It's a very nice design. Beautiful people, beautiful cars, and very nice wat... 

I've often driven extremely impressive road cars. BUT, I've never driven a true race car. That was an experience. Brakes were cold when I got the car, tires were cold, I could tell. Brake pedal also had very little travel. An incredible and memorable expe... 

Roger dubuis is a brand I am watching closely. Hope to own one some day. I think it is growing on me a lot. Just waiting for a slightly more entry level sports series from them. Ps: on a side note, just wondering why this is under Horological meandering n... 

That's a good question; this post really does belong in the RD forum. It also belongs in a way to the Automotive forum too since cars are mentioned. I will transition it to the Roger Dubuis forum!

and the history of watch/automotive brand partnership has been littered with failures, thus the natural skepticism of collectors. I actually quite like the new RDs, though the old Sympathies have a place in heart. Being a Lamboghini owner, to be frank, th... 

It's coming soon! It will cost less. And it will be automatic, not manual wind.

Is that the new one you were referring to?

Yes, that was the new one.

The black, blue and orange work well together. Definitely for those that want a bit more spice than an AP or Patek.

Thanks so much for sharing! That Gehry building is out of this world and that final Lambo/ RD wrist shot blew me away. Me wants one ASAP (watch not car)

The watches are definitely cool. It's really an excellent combination of new-age technology and traditional craftsmanship. Think this; carbon fiber bridges, but with a Geneva Seal. That's pretty special.
