At 2019 SIHH, Roger Dubuis showed everyone a watch that looks exactly like a supercar—the Excalibur Huracàn Performante watch, which shocked the audience as soon as it appeared. This watch combines a cool shape design with powerful mechanical manufacturing, showing us a “Lamborghini” in the mechanical watches. (Model: RDDBEX0792)
What we know about Roger Dubuis is that it constantly launches ingenious and decisive innovation timepieces every year. It is very challenging to try to subvert our aesthetics of traditional watchmaking.
This watch was inspired by Roger Dubuis’ LAMBORGHINI supercar and inspired by the HuracanPerformante V10 engine. Limited to 88 pieces worldwide.
The Excalibur Huracán Performante is as extraordinary in performance, lightness, and safety as the Huracán supercar. The case is covered with a unique “tech titanium gray” coating, made of titanium and black rubber, and will feature the iconic yellow decorative elements on the latest supercar that gallop on the track in 2019 as an overall look for the watch. The diameter is 45 mm.
The side crown is inspired by the unique novelty design of the ultra-dual double-barrel “fuel tank” and is decorated with a yellow rubber ring to enhance the watch’s water resistance.
The perforated dial full of technological sense is particularly eye-catching. The black lower disk edge is matched with the carbon gray upper disk edge, and it is equipped with white SLN luminous paint with rhodium-plated graduations. The hands are designed in black PVD-coated 18K gold, with needles with a yellow transfer bezel and white SLN luminous paint, and yellow-painted aluminum seconds hands.
Above the 12 o’clock position is the Roger Dubuis logo and at 12 o’clock in the balance of the watch. Roger Dubuis will arrange the balance at a 12-degree tilt angle.
The design of the strap is also very delicate. It is made of dual materials, with a black rubber frame on the outside and the grey Alcantara® material on the inside. It is decorated with yellow stitching to enhance the overall comfort and effectively reduce the wear of the strap.
The rubber strap on the inside strap is decorated with the unique pattern of PirelliPZeroTrofeo ™ R high-performance tires. Roger Dubuis also specially equipped this watch with an adjustable folding clasp and a quick-release device that ensures a quick change of the strap.
The bottom is designed with a see-through back, and if we look closely, we can see that the circular automatic disc of the automatic movement also emulates the rim design of the Lamborghini Huracán series wheels.
The watch is equipped with a new “engine”-RD630 movement with a 12-degree tilt balance, which is an iconic movement created by the Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini alliance.
This Roger Dubuis Excalibur series 36 automatic women watch is made of a round dial, a blue gear bezel, and a three-legged lugs, which are all the classic elements of the brand. Just a simple combination, it shows the charm of this watch – elegant and stylish.
Decorated with the blue PVD coated, the dial is simpler and more elegant. The sunray patterned is complemented by a rhodium-plated scale and fine polished white gold hands (without a second hand), giving the unique appeal to this understated and sparkling watch belongs to the brand. The small second chronograph dial stays at 6 o’clock, which has a blue PVD coated snail-shaped ring with a rhodium-plated edge. The square date display window is located below the small seconds dial. And the layout is exquisite, adding a mystery to the watch.
There are 48 natural sapphires embedded on the bezel in sawtooth shape with a black DLC – coated titanium alloy watch case. The gloss of the sapphires is exquisite and flawless, adding great enjoyment to the timepiece. And it is also very consistent with the characteristics of women watch, and it is deeply supported by consumers. The watch case is also made of titanium alloy (it is hard but relatively has the light weight), unlike the pressure of traditional materials, the safety and practicality of the watch is greatly enhanced.
Engraved with the logo of Roger Dubuis, the crown with a non-slip texture for easy handling. And this design also adds the unique charm to the brand.
In general, almost few women watches have the transparent back projection. And this bold watch uses sapphire crystal back cover, which really have some fun. Equipped with Roger Dubuis automatic winding Caliber RD830 movement, the watch has about 48H power reserve.
Blue pure crocodile leather strap with a comfortable texture. Titanium alloy folding clasp with DLC coating ensures that the watch is safe between the wrists and does not slip easily.
The Knight of the Round Table II is relatively low-key but artistic watch. It is made of smoky gray that is a cool color, but it can stand out in many watches.
Grey is the life that is tempered by time and experience
In addition to the unique choice of color, the design of the dial is also very distinctive. On the dial design, Roger Dubuis didn’t revive the design concept of the Knight of the Round Table I. Instead, it uses pure natural dark gray ink jade (the ink jade has the meaning of gentleness, wealth protection, avoidance of evil, anti-evil) as a dial, this scarce material adds to the charm of the watch. The brand adopts strict technology, complicated craftsmanship, and creatively engraves exquisite patterns on the dial, which increases the appreciation of the watch.
And the twelve knights on the dial are also different from the gold casting of the first generation. Instead, it is made of bronze with a higher production difficulty. 
The height of the micro-carved copper knight is only 6.5 mm, but the details on the cast are still very delicate.
At the same time, the stars are dyed with patina on the edge of the platinum plate, which makes the whole dial show retro humanistic feelings and cultural precipitation to the customer. This is one of the reasons why I chose this watch. The brand can treat every detail so carefully, and it is also a powerful support for progress.

The dial and strap have the same color scheme, allowing the entire watch to blend together. Elongated Roman markers give a very chic experience — like blooming fireworks, which is full of change. The case is decorated with a serrated bezel adding the beauty of machine. It is tiled with the same color diamonds, showing a touch of luxury and femininity to the bezel (while black watch with white diamonds is contrasting). Staying at 6 o’clock, chronograph dial and square date display window make this combination very attractive.
The 18K white gold toffee pointer enhances the power of the watch. An integrated lugs extend the perfect line of dial. Engraved with DLC material, crown is black that is elegant and classic. Compared with the steel bracelet, leather strap is more comfortable. And the adjustable folding clasp adds safety to the watch.
According to the brand this time, it is a scene called “low poly art” craft to build a classic story. The third generation of Excalibur Knights in low poly art style, the brand uses this art form trying to reflect the extraordinary creativity and vitality of the brand at the craft level. 
It seems to be simpler than the previous two generations, but in fact, the production process of each dial still requires 45 hours work time for the craftsmen to complete it.
The “low polygon” in digital art was born in the 3D models and scenes of early computer games. It is a real-time rendering technique that uses polygons to create statues or paintings. With the rapid development of computer technology, this graphical means has been eliminated. But nowadays, due to its unique visual language and technical advantages, the low polygon has entered the sight of public and has evolved into a new artistic style.
The watch owns RD821 self-winding movement that features hour and minute display and 48-hour power reserve. And it is an original movement of Roger Dubuis that ensures the accuracy and reliability of the watch.
