In additions to the 2014 Roger Dubuis Hommage Collection, there are other novelties from the Roger Dubuis' pillars.

Below are some snaphsots of the prototypes ...




La Monegasque Club


This new 44mm pink gold La Monegasque Club piece is really nice.  Limited to 88 pieces.


Top of the bezel is black DLC. 

Dial is constructed of different materials.  The centre piece is of petrified wood ( wood which gone through a petrifaction process in the wild, which has been fossilized and turned into stone).
Interestingly at different viewing angle (and the light direction hitting the surface), the intensity varies.

Going outward, the flange and chronograph-subdials are of blacken metal.  Hour-numerals are transfer pink gold powdered


The Chesterfield pattern leather strap



Beautifully gloss polish on front-facing surface, and brush-polish on the sides of the case.


Gold sapphire caseback displaying the automatic RD680, beats at 4Hz and has a power reserve of 52 hours.




La Monegasque Automatic


Similar look as the above 'Club', just smaller, at 42mm pink gold case.  Limited to 188 pieces.


Top bezel is black DLC like the La Monegasque Club.


Small second at 6H.


Case is also of alternate-polishing.


Sapphire caseback displaying the automatic RD 821.





Excalibur 42 Skeleton Tourbillon with Diamonds


42mm white gold case with baguette-cut diamonds set on the bezel and brillant-cut diamonds as the hour-indexes.
Total 70 diamonds of about 1.90 carats.


Wonderful skeletonised work as seen previously seen.
Tourbillon carriage in the shape of a celtic cross.


Most surface is matt brush-polished with only beveled edges of the lugs, gloss-finished.


Layered construction with the skeletonised movement provides depth and 3D-effect.


Signed crown with V-grooves, similarly reflected to the bezel.



Sapphire caseback displaying the Calibre RD505SQ.




Excalibur 42 Automatic with Diamonds


42mm white gold case with 53 brillant-cut diamonds set on the bezel.  Total about 2.21 carats.




Within is the automatic Calibre RD620,  beats at 4Hz and has a power reserve of 52 hours.

Really like those cut-reliefs on the back of the straps for the tool to easily reach the strap-pin. 




Excalibur 36


Excalibur 36, as the model name, is of diameter 36mm, catered for those who prefer pieces which seat nicely on their wrists elegantly.
It also comes in various models.

Above piece is of steel case with satin lavender strap.


Within is automatic Calibre 821, beats at 4Hz and a power reserve of 48 hours.


Another variation in rose gold case.





For the ultimate luxe piece ...


Excalibur 36 in Rose Gold with Diamonds on Case, Dial and bracelet.   Whole watch is nearly pave-set with brillant-cut-diamonds.
Total 1597 pieces of diamonds and approximately 11.04 carats.





Crown and lug-points are set with diamonds too.


Within is with RD821 too.

My favorite is the La Monegasque Club piece

Love the La Monegasque Club piece, although it's too large at 44mm. Would be better at 40-42mm, especially given the cushion case which always presents as larger on the wrist than a traditional round case. But of course, size is a personal matter. Otherwi... 

Good inputs ...

Thanks John. Agree with you , the RG Ultimate luxe piece, if the rotor is in rose gold, it does make a more congruent picture. The La Monegasque Club is one handsome piece in metal... you will have to see and try it on. Size is still alright to my petite ...
