It’s a question that many an horological beginner has asked themselves when taking a deep dive into the realm of complications — what exactly is a tourbillon? Roger Dubuis gave Dubai-based watch fans the opportunity to get right to the heart of the matter with its travelling Watchmaking on Tour and Masterclass exhibition at its Dubai Mall boutique, a showcase of the Maison’s passion for the tourbillon. A savoir faire experience that allowed visitors to get hands-on with the subject of Roger Dubuis’s 2024 releases — having unveiled five spectacular tourbillon timepieces this year — guests were able to observe the intricacy that keeps the tourbillon club limited to a select few master watchmakers. With Roger Dubuis’s novelties including the Orbis Machina, Excalibur Sunrise Double Tourbillon, Excalibur Titanium Monotourbillon, Excalibur Double Tourbillon Cobalt Chrome and the Excalibur Dragon Monotourbillon, it’s been a year of rich horology for this grand Maison — long may it keep spinning.
