Making (light) waves
Roger Dubuis has never done things by half, especially not with its Excalibur line. In the highly specialized segment of contemporary hyper horology, the Geneva-based manufacturer has established itself with its avant-garde timepieces reflecting a certain vision of luxury watchmaking. When it comes to enlivening its best-selling line, the Excalibur automatic skeleton, it is offering a radical design innovation and literally lighting up its its in-house caliber. For the first time in the history of watchmaking, a skeletonized caliber is adorned with micro-structures made of lab-grown sapphires and spinels – both naturally luminescent – arranged in a star shape. To accentuate this effect in the dark and especially under UV light, they are finely highlighted with luminescent material. A wow effect is thus guaranteed, whether on the deck of a yacht or under the spotlights of the most prominent nightclubs. As diamonds can also give off a certain amount of luminescence, Roger Dubuis’ gemsetters have selected a majority of them without luminescence, so that only those in the center of the star shine. The Excalibur Blacklight is available in a chromatic trilogy with a case in white gold, pink gold or titanium.
