Roger Dubuis unveils an exceptional timepiece inspired by the Knights of the Round Table, showcasing shared mastery and cutting-edge craftsmanship.
Roger Dubuis, in its latest horological venture, pays homage to the legendary Knights of the Round Table, deciphering the age-old tale of fellowship and power into a marvel of modern watchmaking. This newest model captures a wintry Arthurian adventure, complete with a frozen landscape and a captivating portrayal of valiant knights, illustrating the brand’s commitment to hyper expressivity and excellence. Since its first unveiling in 2013, the Knights of the Round Table collection has continuously evolved, always embracing bravery and innovation. The current model brings to life twelve dynamic, micro-engraved knights, each crafted with meticulous attention to detail and individuality. These figures take center stage on the watch, emerging in perfect proportions from initial drawings to final engravings. Roger Dubuis has framed the scene in a ring of ice-blue glass, crafted using the Murano method, to capture the essence of a frozen kingdom. This striking design element creates a dazzling effect reminiscent of powdered snow.
The assembly of these components, a meticulous process taking a month to complete, demonstrates the exceptional skill and persistence of Roger Dubuis’ craftsmen. The 45mm case is made from Titanium Damascus, honoring the ancient steel craftsmanship. The complex process involves layering, heating, and shaping titanium plates, followed by an acid bath to reveal a stunning wave pattern. At the heart of this timepiece is the automatic Monobalancier RD821 calibre, exemplifying the watchmaker’s tireless dedication to innovation and performance. This movement, along with the watch’s dark blue strap featuring a Quick Release System, epitomizes Roger Dubuis’ commitment to combining aesthetic elegance with functional excellence. Limited to only 28 pieces, this exclusive Roger Dubuis creation is a rare treasure for those seeking peerless design and horological artistry. The Knights of the Round Table watch, in all its detailed glory, represents a journey into Hyper Horology. View all luxury watches currently for sale on duPont REGISTRY by clicking the link below.
