Digging up skeletons: openworked timepieces are making hearts race
WEB DESIGN
Roger Dubuis pushes design boundaries yet again with the Excalibur Spider Flyback Chronograph’s patent-pending flyback movement and lightweight 45mm carbon case; the column wheel, rotating minute counter and winged rotor take inspiration from supercar engineering. The integrated RD780 calibre comes with a Poinçon de Genève certification, while the vertical clutch and second braking system deliver superlative starts and precision, setting a new benchmark for flyback chronographs. The carbon case with notched ceramic bezel and rubber strap with tyre track pattern further reflect Roger Dubuis’s affinity for motorsports. Attention to detail and hyper-technical materials elevate the design, justifying the attention this watch is commanding in the luxury chronograph market.
PRETTY IN PLATINUM
The Lange 1 Time Zone in platinum displays at a glance both home time and a second time zone using two subdials. Day and night ring indicators and a daylight savings marker provide maximum legibility, while the supple calibre L141.1 offers 72 hours of power reserve. The new platinum case and rhodium face featuring the signature off-centre dial architecture lend elegance to the complications.
