A much-anticipated event, Watches and Wonders 2026 serves as the ultimate stage for horological innovation. At the fair, Roger Dubuis turned its gaze skyward, presenting a constellation of timepieces inspired by celestial motion, Arthurian legend, and technical audacity. This year’s novelties reaffirm the Maison’s identity: expressive complications, architectural dials, and movements that blend poetic storytelling with uncompromising Geneva Seal standards. At the same time, artistic métiers d’art take centre stage in beautifully feminine and unique pieces, proving that technical mastery and aesthetic storytelling can coexist seamlessly.
Biretrograde Calendar
Leading the sporty-chic lineup is the new Biretrograde Calendar, bringing another stunning addition to the Maison’s biretrograde family. This 40 mm timepiece is crafted from 316L stainless steel and is water-resistant to 100 metres. Beating within is the automatic RD840 calibre, a Poinçon de Genève-certified movement boasting 244 components and a robust 60-hour power reserve. What truly sets it apart is its mesmerising multi-layered Cosmic Blue dial, displaying angled, skeletonised hour and minute hands fashioned from white gold with luminescent centres, paired alongside a rhodium-coated brass retrograde hand. The piece is elegantly secured by a stainless steel bracelet equipped with a Quick Release System, completed by a triple folding clasp and an additional calf leather strap.
Excalibur Biretrograde Perpetual Calendar
Taking complexity a step further, the Excalibur Biretrograde Perpetual Calendar elevates the biretrograde family with the upgraded RD850 calibre. This 40 mm masterpiece is framed in 18-carat pink gold with a water resistance of 100 metres. The automatic movement, featuring 435 components and a 60-hour power reserve, introduces a convenient month corrector for rapid adjustments and an astronomical moonphase accurate for 122 years before needing correction. Its captivating Astral Blue dial uses a blue aventurine disc adorned with laser-engraved pink gold moons, while the pink gold hands sweep gracefully across the display. An interchangeable calf leather strap equipped with a pink gold triple folding buckle completes the ensemble.
Excalibur Brocéliande
The magic of the Arthurian legend comes alive in the Excalibur Brocéliande, offered in Twilight Blue and Dawn Rose editions. Both versions are housed in 38 mm 18-carat pink gold cases with a 30-metre water resistance, powered by the automatic skeletonised RD721SQ calibre that offers a 72-hour power reserve, thanks to its 169 components. The Twilight Blue model captures the fading dusk with a translucent blue varnish and white mother-of-pearl ivy leaves, whereas the Dawn Rose version radiates morning light, boasting a bezel set with 60 round-cut diamonds and multicoloured varnished leaves. Two freely rotating sapphire discs bring a dynamic breeze to the dial, complementing the satin-brushed pink gold hands. They are fitted with interchangeable alligator leather straps that come with pink gold pin buckles.
Excalibur Lady of the Lake (Sylvan Green)
Delving deeper into the mythos, the Excalibur Lady of the Lake in Sylvan Green is a tribute to the enigmatic sorceress Viviane, guardian of the sword Excalibur. Shaped like a jewel, the 36 mm pink gold case is topped with a fluted bezel set with brilliant diamonds, offering 30 metres of water resistance. Serving as its mechanical heart is the automatic RD830 calibre, comprised of 183 components and delivering a 48-hour power reserve. Its dial is a true work of art, featuring three-dimensional Sylvan Green mother-of-pearl marquetry arranged in undulating waves and accented by a moonstone cabochon that indicates the seconds. The time is marked by pink gold hands, and the watch is worn on a pearlescent green alligator strap secured by a pink gold pin buckle.
Excalibur Lady of the Lake (Sovereign Grey)
Contrasting the mystical green is the Excalibur Lady of the Lake in Sovereign Grey, a timepiece reflecting Viviane’s knightly strength and strategic mind. Sharing the same 36 mm jewel-shaped pink gold case and the reliable automatic RD830 calibre, this timepiece distinguishes itself through its striking dial architecture. It centres around a pure, iridescent heart of white mother-of-pearl, surrounded by a dark rhodium-coated plate with a sunray finish that evokes the look of indestructible armour. Pink gold sword-like hands and a Sovereign Grey alligator strap with a pearled effect perfectly harmonise with the dial’s monochromatic intensity.
Excalibur Moonlight
Representing the pinnacle of bespoke craftsmanship from the Maison’s Rarities program, the Excalibur Moonlight projects its wearer into the stars. Encased in a 45 mm black DLC titanium shell with 50 metres water resistance, it introduces the groundbreaking RD115-4 calibre. This automatic movement, possessing 277 components and a 72-hour power reserve, features a central monotourbillon and completely reimagines time-telling. Traditional hands are replaced by two translucent blue enamel discs representing the hours and minutes, adorned with hand-painted zodiac constellations and luminescent moon phases, while brass hands with black Super-LumiNova® highlight the exact time. This unique piece is strapped to the wrist with an interchangeable calfskin strap and a DLC titanium triple folding clasp.
Excalibur Perpetual Calendar Quatuor
Finally, the Excalibur Perpetual Calendar Quatuor unites two of horology’s most demanding complications for the very first time. Built with an imposing 48 mm case crafted from Cobalt Chrome—a signature anti-magnetic and highly scratch-resistant alloy—the watch provides 100 metres of water resistance. It is driven by the manual-winding RD116 calibre, a marvel of 758 components offering a 40-hour power reserve. Four balance wheels work in tandem to instantly compensate for gravity, while the dial displays day, date, month, and leap year discs in blue metallised sapphire glass. White gold hands and a blue calf leather strap with a titanium triple folding buckle complete this limited edition of just eight pieces.
