Roger Dubuis’s brand of envelope-busting, hyper horology drops a tourbillon on its latest Knights of the Round Table watch and a new Excalibur watch featuring a massive balance wheel for improved chronometric stability.
The need to constantly outdo itself has driven Roger Dubuis to another stage in the realization of its Knights of the Round Table series of watches. The defining features of these watches are the titular knights (or animals of the zodiac in the case of the Chinese zodiac edition), individually crafted wonders of micro-sculpture, arrayed at 12 points around the dial. In the latest eighth edition for 2022, Roger Dubuis has dropped a tourbillon into the mix — knights combating gravity, as it were, and that would make the tourbillon an appropriate appendix, it being the very mechanism invented by Abraham-Louis Breguet in the 18th century to even out the disruptive effect of gravity upon the balance spring and wheel. To further increase the stability of the movement, Roger Dubuis has also expanded the diameter of the balance wheel.
