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 \u2013 both naturally luminescent \u2013 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\u2019 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excalibur Blacklight CASE : openworked white gold (or pink gold or black DLC titanium), bezel [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":34059,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[80],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34062"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34062"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34062\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34063,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34062\/revisions\/34063"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
