Roger Dubuis, the only Manufacture to practice a 100% Poin\u00e7on de Gen\u00e8ve principle, has found in the skeleton a perfect showcase for the outstanding expertise embodied by this prestigious quality hallmark that is a guarantee of exclusivity, origin, expertise, performance and durability.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Having firmly established itself as the pioneer of contemporary skeleton calibers and a specialist in architectural and technical mechanics, in 2015 Manufacture Roger Dubuis is celebrating its \u2018year of the skeleton\u2019 with a charismatic line-up of Excalibur models. Simultaneously delivering powerful reinterpretations of equally trailblazing know-how in its other signature realms of expertise \u2013 the micro-rotor and the flying tourbillon \u2013, these creations extend or extrapolate the unique Astral Skeleton concept in dazzling new ways. Each also reveals another facet of a proven capacity to appeal in daringly unconventional ways to a wide spectrum of individuals \u2013 from outdoor enthusiasts to timepiece lovers fascinated with technical sophistication and\/or innovative designs, as well as women drawn to jewellery creations with a (quite literally in this case\u2009!) unique twist.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As the only Manufacture to offer a\u00a0Skeleton Double Flying Tourbillon,\u00a0<\/strong>Manufacture Roger Dubuis was ideally equipped to shift into an even higher gear. This is an appropriate way of describing its decision to skeletonize all key aspects of this iconic model channeling the raw power of a race car equipped with a state-of-the-art engine and amazing bodywork. Creating powerful contrasts with the titanium and black DLC-titanium case, a variety of fiery red aluminium elements on the inner bezel ring, crown and case band highlight the strong, sporty impact that is further reinforced by a variety of colour strap options. The standout RD01SQ movement powering this 188-piece limited-edition model is displayed to stunning advantage within this multilevel construction composed of case, flange and movement. The resulting 3D effects are reminiscent of contemporary cityscapes \u2013 just as one would expect from the specialist of technical and architectural mechanics.<\/p>\n
