Mad manufacturing meets state-of-the-art technology through out-of-the-box designs that maintain the traditional craftsmanship notable of the brand. ![]() Additionally, in celebration of its new address, the Excalibur Monobalancier Soho, a limited 8 piece timepiece, was created exclusively for the Soho Residence. The space will exhibit different cutting-edge vehicles every month, coming from the brand’s friendships and partnerships with TheArsenale and Lamborghini. Found at 134 Wooster Street, the space allows pleasure, freedom, and madness to come together in a display of fiery ambition and boldness, as the color red depicts. Woo, Katya Tolstova, Amran Hassan, Sophie Sumner among many others. The Swiss maison opened the doors of its first ever lifestyle driven boutique in the heart of Soho, New York, this past Thursday, March 3rd, with a celebration sponsored by Lobos Tequila, Red Bull, and Hampton Water Rose, DJed by DJ BMAJR, and attended by Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Dr. rogerdubuis.Roger Dubuis is painting the city red. That aside, for those who want an amazing bit of timekeeping architecture on their wrist, the 20-piece edition of the Roger Dubuis Exalibur Spider Americas Edition is available at their New York boutique at a price of $167,500, at Roger Dubuis 545 Madison Avenue, New York. I also have to call out that, for all the airy-ness of the design, it still comes in at a fairly hefty 13.75mm thick – guess all those gears have to hide somewhere (hint: it’s vertically). Then again, there must be a reason for it, and I’m sure those who are more well-versed in the world of Roger Dubuis will let me know in the comments below. Speaking of color, that was another somewhat odd choice in my book for a USA-exclusive watch. This version of the Roger Dubuis Exalibur Spider features red and yellow accents – I would have figured something more to the red, white, and blue scheme could have been executed. Expected? Sure, but it could be done well (in fact, swapping yellow for blue on this watch would do it), and seems like a miss on this particular version. ![]() Yes, it blends thematically with the movement/dial, but I could certainly go for some contrast – say, fully red hands. That said, you are likely not going to mind having to stare at a watch like the Roger Dubuis Exalibur Spider Americas Edition for a bit longer in order to tell the time. And who knows, maybe in person, those white-filled tips on the hands (one presumes lumed as well) are easier to pick out in the 45mm case than the pictures suggest. I just know that the rest of the hand being dark as it is will make it tricky. With extremely skeletonized watches, like we have here with the Roger Dubuis Exalibur Spider Americas Edition, I am frankly amazed at the work done on the dial and case.īy that, I mean how tidy-looking things are kept, all while keeping the “interesting” bits exposed, and tucking everything else away in layers under the structure that still remains. The tiny machines are amazing, and then when you constrain yourself with these sorts of limits, that does certainly elevate things a good bit. Unfortunately, it also afflicts the watch with something that hits a lot of these skeletons – reduced legibility. Yes, that’s right, watch fans – this is an American-only watch (USA! USA!). Well, ok, anyone can buy it, sure – but they will have to travel over to New York to pick one of the twenty pieces up. Should you find yourself in that position, you will be getting not only the very scooped-out “spider web” look of the hand-wound RD505SQ calibre (which also looks like stars to me), you will also have a flying tourbillon whirling away on your wrist. Limited editions in the world of luxury watches are quite commonplace. When you start talking about watches that are a limited release, and limited to a particular country, things sometimes get interesting. This often takes the form of a watch that is available only through a boutique that resides in said country. That is precisely what we have going on here with a new iteration of the Roger Dubuis Exalibur Spider Americas Edition available exclusively through the Roger Dubuis New York boutique.
