And a ‘live’ shot
The Maitres du temps Chapter Two Tonneau in rose gold.
Like a Hollywood blockbuster, this watch was developed by 3 of the most talented groups of watchmakers in the world today. Peter Speake-Marin, Daniel Roth and Roger Dubuis.
The watch is a scaled down more wearable version of the astounding Chapter One and still retains the signature day and month rollers at the top and bottom of the case which forms part of the big date triple calendar. The rollers change instantaneously, as does the date…amazing to even get your head around the mechanics involved in accomplishing that!
You can see in my 2nd picture the beautifully finished movement as well as the underside of the 2 rollers and the pushers located at the bottom of the case to adjust them.
Cost wise the Chapter Two is a far more affordable $67k list compared to the $400k price of he Chapter One.
For more info have a look at a great video starring the three watchmakers talking about the Chapter Two project here.

If the Swiss ran Hollywood there would have probably been a film out by now called, “When bi-tourbillons met retrograde” starring Roger Dubuis

“Roger that…”
A brand that speaks to me more than most…glad that they are getting back to where they truely belong.
We sat down with the man who helped rebuild @Roger_Dubuis, Mr. Georges Kern to talk about why his watches are worth the extra penny.

[rb for cirq6] Breakfast Time If your wrist game involves a Roger Dubuis like this one, chances are this cup of coffee was served to you in bed by a lithe, gorgeous, nubile woman intent on making sure your day started off right. That would explain why the watch is off your wrist and resting on the saucer. Work is about to be done. Handle it.

Playtime is over gentlemen…it’s time to leave the faux diamond oversized novelty watches at home and start moving with the big boys.
Roger Dubuis Excalibur Minute Repeater Tourbillon in Platinum…Self-winding with double micro rotor in platinum, flying Tourbillon, minute repeater - the repeater is activated not using a traditional slider, but rather by twisting the bezel clockwise. (see the musical note on the bezel?). 45mm in size. 28 pcs made worldwide. US$545,000
Does the style of this watch kick ass or what? I’ve always been a fan of Roger Dubuis designs, and their acquisition by the Richemont Group has helped them drastically improve quality. No more rushed-to-market watches.
This is the newest version of their Double Tourbillon watch that was originally released back in 2005. The RD01 movement is manually wound and has two flying tourbillons that average each other out for a better accuracy rate. The dial displays the time with retrograde minutes which makes reading the time a bit tricky as the hour hand is not a retrograde/jumphour :/ The back of the watch has a power reserve indicator, mainly because there is no more room on the front! That being said, there are few watches that can make a tourbillon look more sexy than this.
Roger Dubuis chose the name of the Excalibur case well. Large and in-your-face in terms of styling, the watch literally seems to yell “look at me.” Depending on your style or mood, this is exactly what you want, or not what you want at all. The bezel has a neat serrated look to it and the crown is actually located underneath a large crown cap. Polish and finish are all really nice, and the dial details are fun to to see. Roger Dubuis is among a few people that do two different polishes on their hands. The sword style hands are polished on one side, and brushed on the other side of the middle fold. You’ll love the resulting look. You can even still see Dubuis’ iconic art deco style Roman numeral hour markers on the dial that are given a unique placement. The watch comes in 18k white or rose gold. Price is high, of course. It is one of those watches you love or hate, but if you love it, you really want one.
Recipe for success:
Take the movement used by Patek Philippe in the 5970 and add a Bi-Retrograde complication to it. House this in an oversized 45mm 18k white gold case and limit production to only 28 pieces worldwide.
