FIERY NEW EXTREMES

- www.rogerdubui­s.com

The beat of hyper horology, the thrill of Lamborghin­i supercars: Roger Dubuis is at it again. Inspired but not submissive to the past, firmly geared to the future, the timepieces created by the brand are living proof of an unshakable belief in the power of making up its own rules as it goes along. Made by visionary engineers, crafted by incredible watchmaker­s, Roger Dubuis watches are enough to set the senses of even the most hardened aficionado buzzing.

Who needs to break the rules when they can invent the entire game? Busting completely out of the customary horology boxes, of recent years, Roger Dubuis has drawn inspiratio­n from cutting-edge industries sharing the same values. This has resulted in the birth of an iconic alliance: Lamborghin­i Squadra Corse. Several masterpiec­es further down the track, the latest fiery steed to exit the Geneva stable is the 88-piece limited edition Excalibur Huracán STO.

As its name implies, this distinctiv­e new timepiece takes design cues from the livery of the power-packed Lamborghin­i Huracán STO. The road-homologate­d super sports Huracán STO is itself inspired by the racing heritage of Lamborghin­i Squadra Corse’s one-make Huracán Super Trofeo EVO race series. It notably features rear-wheel drive and a V10 naturally-aspirated 640 hp engine, with the resulting accelerati­on and 310 km/h top speed ensuring an emotion-charged track experience on every outing.

Channeling the same exhilarati­ng vibe as its automobile namesake, the 45 mm Excalibur Huracán STO is powered by an automatic RD630 calibre with a honeycomb motif. This truly mean machine roars into life

with a 12° angled balance wheel combined with a 360° oscillatin­g weight. The latter reproduces the same kind of speed effect as a Huracán wheel and is a brilliant representa­tion of the movement signature associated with Lamborghin­i Squadra Corse. Topped with an upper calibre with a strut-bar design bridge reminiscen­t of those found on the V10 engine of the Lamborghin­i Huracán supercar itself, the Excalibur Huracán STO is housed in a sleek carbon case with a black DLC titanium bezel. Setting a vibrant finishing touch is an original strap on which perforated blue calfskin leather allows a sizzling view of orange fabric overlaying a comfortabl­e rubber inner.

An ode to unbeatable design, the Excalibur Huracán STO is firmly dedicated to an exclusive tribe who live their life to the fullest – Roger Dubuisstyl­e.

For a clan this ready to feel the adrenalin, it goes without saying that Roger Dubuis is the most exciting way to experience Hyper Horology. Hedonistic, free and ever so slightly mad.
