Chronographe La Monégasque

The incredible world of ROGER DUBUIS

Sometimes, audacity, spirit and talent will open doors that are reputed impenetrable. In barely fifteen years, Manufacture ROGER DUBUIS has entered the world of Fine Watchmaking and won the recognition of its peers. Now the company embarks on another chapter in its history and enters a new era. An era of greater mechanical maturity with the development of innovative movements that exactly meet the requirements of the most demanding connoisseurs; an era of aesthetic maturity with the launch of a new collection with an assertive design. This is also an era of industrial maturity with the implementation of manufacturing procedures that marry the latest technology with the precise demands of the Poinçon de Genève-Hallmark of Geneva. Tighter collections, products that target collectors and connoisseurs, entirely new global communications and worldwide selective distribution all contribute to the exceptional vitality of this daring brand.

ROGER DUBUIS is more than a Manufacture, more than a brand: it is its own world. An exciting, animated world. A world where creativity reigns supreme, where originality is king and the pursuit of excellence is truly a driving force. A brand that is intentionally extravagant, elegant and worthy of the best in Fine Watchmaking. New worlds will open up fabulous horizons and nurture the history of a young brand that loves to innovate as much as it respects the classic idiom of Fine Watchmaking. This is what makes ROGER DUBUIS unique.

Marking 2011 at Manufacture ROGER DUBUIS is the launch of the La Monégasque collection of elegantly contoured timepieces driven by exceptional mechanical movements, each bearing the prestigious Poinçon de Genève-Hallmark of Geneva and including a new chronograph calibre*.

The second highlight of the year is the unveiling of women’s models in ROGER DUBUIS’ iconic Excalibur collection.

THE CHRONOGRAPH LA MONEGASQUE

The collection La Monégasque by ROGER DUBUIS stands out for the flowing line of its case whose round dial stretches the contours of the bezel to produce a uniquely distinctive form. Audacity and excellence underlie this new collection which incorporates only exceptional mechanical movements that have been designed, developed and produced by Manufacture ROGER DUBUIS.

The Chronograph La Monégasque brings sporting elegance to the collection. The stylish line of its case alongside its fascinating mechanism are in every way characteristic of the pursuit of excellence which for fifteen years has prevailed at Manufacture ROGER DUBUIS. The Chronograph La Monégasque is proposed in a 44mm diameter case in steel (also available in rose gold). The dial, which contrasts a satin sunburst centre with a circular satin exterior, incorporates a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and small seconds at 9 o’clock in the grand tradition of chronographs.

The Chronograph La Monégasque is driven by the new self-winding mechanical RD680 movement. Designed, developed and produced by Manufacture ROGER DUBUIS, the RD680 chronograph calibre represents the new generation of mechanical movements at ROGER DUBUIS, matching beauty with performance and building on cutting-edge production technology.
