ROGER DUBUIS-KINGSQUARE COLLECTION

THE EXTRAVAGANT


Presented by Roger Dubuis in 2008, this collection has strongly identifying architectonics that have made it one of its generation’s most recognisable timepieces.

The three-sided sapphire crystal seems to relegate the reading of the time to the background, while the seductive appeal of the model lies in its volume, shape and original construction.

Whether dressed in bold colours or equipped with a chronograph or even a complicated movement like the men’s or ladies’ skeleton tourbillon, this line remains resolutely urban and is suitable for the most sophisticated surroundings.

In keeping with its reputation, ROGER DUBUIS has taken the bold step of creating an exceptional timepiece exclusively for men.The bezel and middle of the black titanium case are decorated respectively with 102 and 12 flamboyant baguette-cut spessartites. Black and orange alternate on the dial, while large Roman numerals are interspersed with the spessartites set on the black flange. The tourbillon cage can be admired through an opening encircled by a black ring at 7 o’clock. The hand-wound mechanical movement is stamped with the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark and the hand-sewn alligator strap is fitted with a black titanium folding clasp. This exclusive model comes in a single limited series of 8.

The titanium case is flanked by inter-lug plates and a crown, both in rose gold. Its bezel, set with 62 diamonds, echoes the diamond-set square at the centre of the dial. White mother-of-pearl alternates with the sunray flinqué white ground. In addition to the twelve white sapphire hour-markers, four Roman numeral appliques in white circular-grained mother-of-pearl mark the quarter hours.
