Introducing the replica Roger Dubuis watches Hommage La Placide Limited Edition - the globally limited edition twice retrograde perpetual calendar view.

 

This is what it means to make a truly worthy tribute watch.

2025 definitely seems to be an anniversary year. Numerous famous brands are celebrating their particular centuries-long watchmaking history, quite a few, both established and rising, releasing extraordinary commemorative models. Some are meticulously crafted projects showcasing the watchmaker's excellent skill; others are evolutions associated with historical benchmarks. The Roger Dubuis Hommage La Placide combines the best of the two worlds. This limited release of 28 pieces is actually a complicated timepiece featuring a reconditioned and upgraded movement and also perpetual calendar module, any reinterpretation of the classic watch in which catapulted the brand to celebrity 29 years ago. Yes, up to 29 years, not 30. Roger Dubuis was founded in 95, and the first Hommage enjoy with a perpetual calendar perform was launched a year later in 1996. You might wonder why Roger Dubuis didn't use the brand " Hommage Biretrograde Perpetual Calendar, " but instead selected " Hommage La Placide. " While this adds a little mystery, it also cleverly reduces the risk for referencing the double retrograde display function that shook the watchmaking world 30 years ago. This is consistent with the brand's style-they also once introduced a watch telling the story regarding Merlin and the Lake Cock hungry sluts. However , " La Placide" isn't a mythical wizard, but alternatively Roger Dubuis's nickname. Having been a Boy Scout in his junior, and received this identify for his calm and mild nature, which he applied throughout his life. These are names, the first " Hommage" watch was a tribute to the people who inspired and nurtured watchmaker Roger Dubuis. This particular " Hommage, " still is a tribute to the watch manufacture himself; therefore , in a sense, that is a double tribute, a truly brilliant design.

Bringing out the Roger Dubuis Hommage La Placide Watch

After seeing the gorgeous 40mm Excalibur Double Retrograde Date watch, have you ever regarded creating a replica or reinterpretation of the Double Retrograde Time timepiece? I can only sort this with one palm right now… because I actually definitely did. The Hommage La Placide replica swiss watches perfectly meets my anticipations. While the Excalibur Double Retrograde Date watch retains typically the series' signature fluted frame and three lugs, often the Hommage La Placide incorporates a more traditional case reminiscent of the first. Notably, this 38mm rose gold colored case is crafted from the Roger Dubuis manufacture, a primary in the brand's history. The interior construction is even more engaging.

When 13 + 72 = Competence 1472

This specific watch features a 38mm (original size) case, only 11mm thick, housing the Roger Dubuis Caliber 1472 mobility. This is an automatic movement, consists of a base movement (RD14) and also a module (RD72). To create this specific tribute, " RD" prefer a retro approach, replicating its original RD14 movement-the brand's first in-house programmed movement launched in 2004. Each and every movement underwent meticulous refurbishment, from comprehensive diagnostics for you to rigorous quality control, attempting to restore every component to near-original condition.

Infamously, the RD14 movement includes swan-neck regulator, a hallmark involving traditional watchmaking, renowned for the precise adjustment and great finishing. The movement likewise retains RD's in-house hairspring. This early 2000s creativity earned the brand official acknowledgement as a watchmaker. Beyond rescue, the brand further enhanced the actual RD14's performance by entirely recalibrating the gear train along with readjusting the gear shafts regarding improved efficiency.

Restoration and Recalculation: The particular restored RD14 base blends with perfectly with the RD72 never ending calendar module. First launched in 1999, the RD72 is one of Roger Dubuis's favorite movements, integrating day time, date, month, leap calendar year, and moon phase exhibits. To achieve this perfect fusion connected with mechanisms, Roger Dubuis separately rebuilt the mainplate, links, and nearly half of the components-including levers, springs, gears, in addition to pinions. The ingenious double-star mechanism uses 12-tooth as well as 48-tooth gears to display the particular month and leap yr on a single counter.

The brand had previously simply combined the RD14 motion with the RD72 module when before, creating the Caliber 1472. Now, this 307-part movements features a new 18K rose gold colored rotor and employs eighteen traditional decorative techniques, which includes Geneva stripes, circular graining, mirror polishing, and perlage. As a tribute to Roger Dubuis, the Hommage Are generally Placide watch naturally in addition bears the Geneva Seal. Roger Dubuis, a masteral of watchmaking school, previously has a Geneva Seal-certified wrist watch in his portfolio. replica luxury watches

Want more mother-of-pearl? Totally!

Like the Excalibur Double Retrograde Date see, mother-of-pearl reappears on the watch dial. Previous pieces have exhibited the use of this soft, glistening material. Mother-of-pearl exudes some sort of subtle, serene luster. Still the double retrograde show is more striking. Thanks to the career of the two thick hands and fingers and the prominent font, typically the hour markers gradually expand from the outer edge and also narrow towards the center, vigilantly preserving the original design. This kind of layout presents an square geometry, guiding the eye the natural way across the dial.

The dial structure contains five distinct layers. The outside edge features polished ends, a circular brushed finish off, and inlaid transfer amounts and minute markers. The next layer is a pearlescent mother-of-pearl date disc, adorned together with transfer inscriptions and hand-beveled edges. The main dial is completed in " Léman Azure, " a tribute to help Lake Geneva. The switch features applied hour paintball guns, transferred text, and a silent celestial body phase display, all assemble in an orderly fashion to guarantee visual balance and useful clarity. The mother-of-pearl subdials feature a wider concentric round textured finish. Its design and style is balanced and enlightening, just right, as the entire call is a model of visual difficulty. The blue aventurine phase of the moon phase layer exudes a new subtle metallic sheen, similar to the night sky. Two crescent-shaped 18K gold moons orbit on its surface. high quality replica watches
