Roger Dubuis Excalibur Blacklight Trilogy Gets “Lit”

To clarify, the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Blacklight Trilogy is "Lit" in the sense of the modern phrase that Roger Dubuis's target demographic will certainly understand Interestingly, Roger Dubuis doesn't say all that much about the technology it utilized The point is that - contrary to what one might believe upon first sight - it has left the trademark 166-component Roger Dubuis RD820SQ skeletonized caliber intact and added a web of specially produced crystals above, as well as underneath it.

Roger Dubuis goes on to call it "An innovative technology using micro-structures made of lab-grown sapphire identical to that used in watchmaking jewels." It being "Identical" kind of contradicts the "Used for the first time in the Haute Horlogerie industry" segment - but let's not nit-pick and just accept that somehow these structures differ from the similarly "Grown" sapphire crystals and artificial movement jewels In the off chance that the aforementioned target demographic couldn't quite see its own reflection in the product, Roger Dubuis debuted the Excalibur Blacklight Trilogy collection of three watches with a video that, to me at least, strongly resembled the club scene of Bad Boys II, where the camera - in some very cleverly done, seemingly uncut footage - flies from the skies into and through the ventilation system of a building and then into and through an early 2000's club full of UV lights and other not-safe-for-work sorts of appendages I'd love to see Roger Dubuis remain the brand that brings some balance to the game and strengthen its inherent abilities that have historically allowed it to do just that.

Limited to 88, 88, and 28 pieces and presented in 42mm-wide cases in black DLC titanium, 18k white gold, and 18k pink gold, the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Blacklight in black will cost 80,000 CHF; the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Blacklight in blue will cost 95,000 CHF; while the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Blacklight in pink will cost 100,000 CHF You can learn more about these "Lit" Roger Dubuis watches on the manufacturer's website. .
