Roger Dubuis always represents his new lines with style. This year Dubuis “dares to rare” according to it’s new slogan by representing a few watches from his Blue Rhapsody on 2017 SIHH. This prestigious watch maker is putting on the line few master pieces with blue colour.
Incorporating blue materials with high value and exceptional quality this Blue Rhapsody shouldn’t disappoint anyone. Without a doubt Roger Dubuis keeps raising the bar of creativity and incredible design, in the same time proudly standing out in the year of innovations, offering new materials and complications.
Jean-Mark Pontroue’ (Roger Dubuis’s CEO) this year on SIHH 2017 proudly confirms a couple more world premiers at the SIHH for the next year, and for the following two years, putting Excalibur men’s collection on focus.
The first watch Excalibur Quarour Cobalt MicroMelt has four balance wheels and a case made of cobalt-chrome alloy, produced with trademarked MicroMelt technology. The process starts with a liquid alloy that’s turned into a fine powder via a high pressure gas. The powder is filtered to keep only finest particles, than under high pressure and temperature is created hard metal. This alloy is highly corrosion resistant and durable.
As a result of the use of cobalt and blue colour this wrist watch perfectly feats in the Blue Rhapsody line and has PVT-coated movement barrel cage, blue dial, blue bridges and of course blue alligator strap. Additionally the designers played with red colour, adding up some red tiny details on the seem of the strap, noticeable red circle from the inside of the bezel, red details on the hands and on the chronographs.
