Case: 18k white gold, screwed on glazed back, engraved Roger Dubuis 18k white gold deployant clasp, original leather bracelet. Dial: anthracite-coloured outer minute scale, applied Roman hours.
The manual wind calibre RD100 consists of 452 individual, hand-made parts which are carefully assembled and finished by hand in 1,200 man-hours. 355 of them comply with the strict standards laid down by the Bureau du Poincon de Genéve - the most important certification of contemporary "haute horlogerie" – and the movement thus bears the prized Geneva seal.
The unusual dial consists simply of the movement plate and was hand-ornamented in four steps with a guilloche pattern to achieve a sense of spatial depth – making each and every one of these timepieces one of a kind. The two magnificent flying tourbillons sit at 4 o’clock and 8 o’clock and are fitted with a differential gear, which allows finetuning their performances just like in a car.
Roger Dubuis’ Double Flying Tourbillon is a true masterpiece which attracts and fascinates both connoisseurs of highly complicated watches and lovers of extravagant timepieces.
