Roger Dubuis at Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition 2017

The World of Architectural and Technical Mechanics takes over Qatar

The Manufacture Roger Dubuis is pleased to participate in the Doha Jewellery & Watches Exhibition (DJWE) for the third consecutive year with its longstanding partner Ali Bin Ali.

The premier showcase for luxury watches in the region, which will be held at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre from February 20 to 25, 2017, will welcome Middle East’s aficionados and key luxury players. 

Roger Dubuis will be presenting a beautiful range of timepieces, among which the Excalibur Spider Skeleton Flying Tourbillon that has only just arrived in Qatar. 

The piece picks up the signature features of Roger Dubuis skeleton timepieces: the star shaped design, the tourbillon carriage shaped like a Celtic cross and the high end finishes including the circular grained plate of hand wound Calibre RD505SQ. The Excalibur Spider Collection is enhanced by a Single Flying Tourbillon that once again highlights the ambition of Roger Dubuis to push all boundaries. This time, the Swiss Watchmaker is skeletonising the case, the hands and the flange.

Roger Dubuis is also delighted to present its elegant Velvet collection to the feminine clientele, showcasing the complete Velvet by Massaro trilogy: a trio of 88-piece limited models embodying the treasures of creativity, inspiration and imagination shared by two Maisons with an undeniable gift for exalting feminine charm and elegance. Ultra-feminine materials meet stunning designs, all beating to the accurate and reliable pace of Manufacture-made mechanical movements. All three interpretations bear the prestigious Poinçon de Genève.

And there is more: along with presenting its latest novelties, the Manufacture will proudly introduce its new motto ‘Dare to be Rare’; concept summing up its bold approach to watchmaking and its determination to take the road less travelled. 
Surely, DJWE is the perfect kick-off for the Maison’s exciting projects in 2017!
