ROGER DUBUIS EXCALIBUR
In 2018, the unparalleled sensations
and exceptional power of this
timepiece are unleashed in the
Excalibur Aventador S Pink Gold,
starring a pink gold bezel and
sophisticated black Alcantara
strap. Like its predecessor, driven
by a passion for cutting-edge
technological complexity shared
with the Geneva-based Manufacture,
and in keeping with proud
Lamborghini tradition, the Excalibur
Aventador S Pink Gold is inspired
by the dynamics of motorsport
while adhering to firmly entrenched
supercar codes. Living up to its
“Powered by Raging Mechanics”
signature, this Lamborghini-
exclusive timepiece issued in an
8-piece limited edition features a
multi-layer carbon skeleton case
and is propelled by an impressive
‘engine’ in the shape of its specially
developed trademark Duotor
calibre. Characterised by privileged
exclusivity, rampant virility and
shared commitment to providing
money can’t buy experiences, the
“Perfect Fit” partnership between
Roger Dubuis and car tyre legend
Pirelli is rooted in the fact that
exclusive service is a must for those
seeking to make a lasting imprint
on scorching tarmac. In 2018, the
proudly unmistakable features and
trademark colours of the Excalibur
Spider Pirelli collection give way to
sleek black titanium and pristine
white accents, reminiscent of the
tarmac of which this iconic tyre
company is king. On this special
Pirelli edition of the best-selling
model equipped with Calibre
820SQ, the fluted titanium black DLC
skeletonised bezel is complemented
by a crown over-moulded with white
rubber and matching white stitching
on the strap. Representing the
ultimate nod to the brutal winning
streak embedded in the DNA of these
two exceptional brands, the Excalibur
Spider Pirelli strap is manufactured
from winning Pirelli motorsport tyre
rubber, featuring the distinctive tread
prole of the latter on the interior.

IWC TRIBUTE TO
PALLWEBER EDITION
“150 YEARS”
IWC’s first-ever watches to
feature jumping numerals
in a digital display are one
of the special highlights of
the Jubilee collection. They
show the hours and minutes
in large numerals on rotating
discs. IWC was already using
this form of time display
in pocket watches back
in 1884; the display was a
revolutionary development
in its time. The IWC Tribute
to Pallweber Edition “150
Years” (Ref. IW505002) has
an 18-carat red gold case, a
white dial with a lacquered
finish, white display discs, a
60-hour power reserve and
a blued seconds hand. The
watch is available in a limited
edition of 250. As a reference
to the design of the historic
Pallweber watches and a
tribute to F. A. Jones, the
American watchmaker who
founded IWC, the windows of
the digital display are labelled
as “Hours” and “Minutes”.
