Roger Dubuis

This Roger Dubuis Sympathie Minute Repeater in platinum is a very rare and impressive timepiece. The guilloché dial is stunning , but I find the subdial at 3 o'clock a bit empty , personally. The shape of the Sympathie case is gorgeous . But I'm not fond ...  

And the platinum case is probably less resounding than the white gold on the video. Great case shape and guillochage nonetheless…

Like all their watches back then ? Or less in this case? Most were 28 but another dial, hands, dial colour gave them the opportunity to make another 28 LE run. In this case probably 1 run, or even less than 28

And, based on the photo of the movement, the first example here seems to be 09/09. Best, Emmanuel

Both are historically significant, showcasing how talented watchmakers can walk away from corporate big box store brands and make a go of it on their own. Horology needs this, or else lay stagnant as brands do what they're doing with recent yawners while ... 

full of originality and imagination is pure joy. Best, Emmanuel

would you wear it? Is another question.

I agree the dial is indeed stunning but that sub dial at 3 needs to go IMHO and I must confess whilst I love these Roger Dubuis Sympathie watches I care not for the minute repeater complication, but each of us to our own taste is fine. Marc

The biretrograde PC is also more iconic. But it just happens that this particular MR looks really nice! Best, Emmanuel
