If there were one watch that encapsulated everything about Roger Dubuis, it would be the Hommage Flying Tourbillon with large date. This timepiece embodies the core watchmaking philosophies dear to the master watchmaker, like technical complexity, functionality and luxury. With the flying tourbillon (instead of a bridged one) Dubuis demonstrated technical dexterity, with the big date and power reserve indications, he demonstrated a focus on the essence of horology. Finally, he showed his dedication to watchmaking excellence by subjecting his watches to the stringent criteria of the Poinçon de Genève.

The Hommage Tribute To Roger Dubuis honours all of the above, and also to the master watchmaker’s entire life’s work. At once contemporary and classical, this watch features a beautiful sapphire crystal exhibition case back through which one can admire the perfect Côtes de Genève decoration, hand-applied perlage and polished screws, plus another view of the flying tourbillon. Dubuis’s signature is also discreetly engraved at 12 o’clock on the case back.

Considering that this timepiece was created as a throwback to the original 1995 model, its design remains startlingly contemporary – a testament to the progressive aesthetic codes of Roger Dubuis since the company’s inception. Commemorating the master watchmaker’s matriculation number at the Geneva Watchmaking School, this watch will be released in a limited production of only 208 pieces (price unavailable).
