It took the Roger Dubuis level of intrepidity and audacity \u2013 combined with its respect for watchmaking tradition and its expertise in contemporary Haute Horlogerie \u2013 to associate this complication born in the 18<span class=\"s2\">th <\/span>century with a cutting-edge material and then to add a flying tourbillon while ensuring the model earned the \u201cPoin\u00e7on de Gen\u00e8ve\u201d quality hallmark. The result is an ultra-modern interpretation of the minute repeater, driven by the new RD107 caliber. Lightweight and comfortable on the wrist, the carbon case of Excalibur Spider Unique Series also endows the chime with a crystal-clear sound. The contemporary skeleton design is accompanied by indicators linked to the minute repeater which reinforce the technical nature of the timepiece : one at 10 o\u2019clock serves to observe the striking mechanism ; another at 3 o\u2019clock indicates whether the crown is in winding or adjustment mode ; while the \u201call or nothing\u201d function appearing at 8 o\u2019clock indicates whether the pusher is in the right position to release the striking mechanism. Visible through the transparent caseback, the reduced size of the two rotors frees up space to view the gongs and hammers of the minute repeater. While only one customer will be able to treat himself to this exclusive Excalibur in green, it will be available to order in other colors.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Excalibur Spider Unique Series <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">CASE : SMC carbon, internal case, crown and caseback in titanium and black DLC, sapphire crystal front and back, water-resistant to 50m DIMENSIONS : 47mm MOVEMENT : mechanical self-winding, RD107 caliber powered by two micro-rotors, 21,600 vib\/h, 72h power reserve FUNCTIONS : hours, minutes, minute repeater, flying tourbillon, function indicator, striking mechanism indicator, \u201call or nothing\u201d indicator DIAL : Skeleton with SMC carbon inner flange and black upper flange, 18K gold and black PVD hands, Super-LumiNova\u00ae STRAP : bi-material rubber and RubberTech, interchangeable, folding clasp ONE-OF-A-KIND CREATION<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A minute repeater in a SMC carbon case with a resolutely sporty, even downright aggressive [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":35903,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[80,1663],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35906"}],"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\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35906"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35906\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35909,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35906\/revisions\/35909"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
