The Monotourbillon: A High Horology Heartbeat
At the heart of the Excalibur Titanium Monotourbillon lies the Calibre RD512SQ movement—a marvel of engineering and aesthetics. But what sets this tourbillon apart is its placement: positioned at 7 o’clock, a unique choice that defies tradition. This daring design decision has not only added visual intrigue but also enhances the wearer’s experience.
Minimalistic Elegance in Titanium
The Excalibur Titanium Monotourbillon embraces minimalism without compromising on sophistication. Crafted entirely from Grade 5 Titanium, it is almost twice as light as stainless steel, yet remarkably strong. The bracelet’s shortened links ensure comfort during extended wear, while the matte metallic sheen exudes understated luxury. Shiny polished bevels provide a striking contrast, and the iconic Roger Dubuis star receives a darker grey treatment, adding depth to the design.
