Famed for its iconoclastic watches, the
Manufacture Roger Dubuis has fought to be taken seriously as a watch
manufacture, producing not only flamboyant watches with creative designs but
also technical masterpieces.
Its previous Excalibur and SAW collections
are proud testaments of the manufacture’s resolve. Roger Dubuis founder Carlos
Dias is quietly confident that the new KingSqaure collection would be another
winner.
Offered in both men’s and ladies’ models (a
40mm case for men and 36mm for women), this square-shaped watch immediately
catches the eye with its unique triple-faceted sapphire crystal, both front and
back. The watch case is a mixture of gold or titanium with
rubber.
The men’s collection comes in three
versions, including a flying tourbillon, and another with a skeletonized dial
featuring the KS02 “code name”, calling attention to the watch’s movement number
RD02SQ.
The ladies’ collection comes in two versions
(one equipped with a flying tourbillon), and is easily differentiated from the
men’s by the flowery patterned dial surrounding a central guilloche
zone.
A limited 28-piece ladies edition of the
KingSquare in white or rose gold, features a skeletonized dial with an
intriguing lattice of openworked hearts.
The tourbillon carriage is decorated with
three hearts and a blued small seconds hand shaped to resemble a Cupid’s arrow.
Two of the hearts are adorned with rubies, one each for front and
back.
Valentine’s Day may be long gone but you can still
make your lady’s heart melt with this majestic gem.
