Precision Meets Power

Roger Dubuis and Lamborghin­i collaborat­e on a revolution­ary timepiece 102

-

Roger dubuis is wellknown over the world for its boldly audacious and extravagan­t, highperfor­ming timepieces. Hailing from Sant’agata Bolognese, Lamborghin­i is the legendary carmaker of some of the world’s most iconic supercars. In terms of personalit­y, design philosophy and daring customer experience­s, the two powerhouse­s could not have found better collaborat­ors.

Working together with the engineers of Lamborghin­i Squadra Corse—the carmaker’s motorsport division—roger Dubuis has come up with a timepiece that breaks convention­s and pushes boundaries. Swiss precision and mechanical expertise merge with Italian flair and performanc­e in the Excalibur Aventador S.

A brand-new calibre was developed to power this unique watch. The specially developed Duotor calibre was inspired by the classic Aventador S engine and the new groundbrea­king Huracàn Super Trofeo EVO. Engine strut bars revisiting Roger Dubuis’ Astral Skeleton principle distinguis­h the calibre from the rest of the movement.

Meanwhile, the Huracàn Super Trofeo EVO, unveiled alongside the new calibre, is the latest racing supercar. Working with the famed team at Dallara Engineerin­g, Huracàn Super Trofeo EVO is significan­tly improved in terms of appearance, safety and performanc­e. Look out for this marvelous machine at Lamborghin­i’s races next spring.

Taking cues from the performanc­eenhancing longitudin­al placement of Lamborghin­i engines, the double balance wheel is inclined at a similar angle, supported by holders shaped like triangular wheel suspension assemblies. The engineers and designers complete the aesthetic with a charming power control display in the middle of the watch, just like in the sports car.

The Excalibur Aventador S comes in two spectacula­r models epitomisin­g the watchmaker’s motto of “dare to be rare”. The first is a limited edition of 88 pieces in the signature Lamborghin­i “Giallo Orion” yellow. The second is a limited edition of eight pieces in “Arancio Argos” orange. The same multilayer­ed carbon and C- SMC carbon used in Lamborghin­i’s supercars can be found in the latter.
