For Roger Dubuis, 2014 brings a unique focus on its reinvigorated Hommage collection representing the quintessence of its incredible Mechanics. The collection pays eloquent tribute to horology and to the most admirable exponents of this discipline that is both art and science, as well as a magnificent field of expression for a wide range of handcrafted skills. Each of the models in this collection carries the figurative and literal signature of Mr Roger Dubuis, the enduring ‘soulmaker’ of the Manufacture that bears his name and the man who first launched the Hommage collection in 1995. The Hommage Double Flying Tourbillon with hand-made guilloché provides a stunning contemporary interpretation of a time-honoured decorative skill in a model driven by the innovative new RD100 movement. The newly revived collection also encompasses a selection of Hommage Automatics giving a signature contemporary slant to traditional wristworn elegance, as well as Hommage Chronographs powered by sophisticated Manufacture Roger Dubuis movements, all dedicated to keeping pace with performance. Meanwhile, ladies are offered a tantalising opportunity to blend Fine Watchmaking and spectacular gemstones in a choice of velvet – haute joaillerie creations that may be personalised at will to capture their unique character and charm. Each of these models embodies another facet of Roger Dubuis’ unswerving commitment to excellence, as vividly illustrated in its 100% Poinçon de Genève-certified production. Roger Dubuis honours fine watchmaking by showcasing its Hommage collection at the SIHH 2014, and throughout the coming year, Roger Dubuis has decided to turn the spotlight firmly on its Hommage collection, first launched almost 20 years ago and now presented as a broad and dynamic range of timepieces that accentuate its unique stature and cherished vocation. Introduced in white and pink gold only, the collection will only ever be issued in noble metals befitting the distinguished character of the mechanisms beating inside. The man behind the magic Revisited and reinterpreted in a timeless vein, the timepieces in the Hommage Collection, including the Hommage Double Flying Tourbillon with hand-made guilloché, regroup the entire heritage of Roger Dubuis. Like the master-watchmaker who gave life to this collection, the collection is endowed not only with style but also with a powerful character. It serves as the custodian of his spirit of innovation and his quest for reliability. Vividly embodying the master-watchmaker’s wealth of experience, inherited from all those who have preceded him and admirably perpetuated by the current generation at work within Roger Dubuis, this collection gives rise to creations that will make their mark on horological history. Featuring classic designs and frequently issued in limited editions, the models in the Hommage collection embody a blend of aesthetic refinement and traditional watchmaking references. Dedicated to Fine Watchmaking enthusiasts in search of excellence, they all proudly bear Mr Roger Dubuis’ signature on the exhibition-type case-back, either metallised on the sapphire crystal pane, or engraved on the surrounding metal. The new Hommage Double Flying Tourbillon with hand-made guilloché achieves a spectacular new demonstration of Roger Dubuis’ equally intense concern for the inner and outer beauty of its models. Endowed with historical design codes including long slender lugs, a concave bezel, large Roman numerals, a fluted crown and a distinctive folding clasp, it also features a range of subtle new touches. 1 3 9 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
