The new Roger Dubuis watch: A timepiece that draws inspiration from knights

An artistic watch with knights on the dial

While some watches are popular for their movements, the Roger Dubuis watch has made ripples in the industry with its stylish dial. Instead of featuring hour markers on the watch, this new timepiece from Roger Dubuis has small miniatures which are considered to be more artistic than hour markers.

The good thing about this watch is this—each miniature version differs from the next. One look at the dial is enough to give you some insight into the effort that’s been put into the watch. Apparently, every knight has a unique element, so the brand spent a lot of time on minor details.

And everything, from the clothes’ texture to the blade’s sharpness, is accentuated by precise details. Since this timepiece draws inspiration from the Giant’s Causeway, that is located in Ireland, a large section of the dial has a hexagonal pattern.

It’s worth noting that the hexagonal pattern is complemented by multiple pillars, each with a different finish, to give the watch a sophisticated allure.

Apart from that, it comes with a high-quality calibre capable of delivering a 48-hour power reserve. To complement everything featured on the dial, this new Roger Dubuis piece is fitted with a clear casing that gives you spectacular views of the calibre.

The strap’s symmetrical pattern blends smoothly with the bezel and hexagonal pillars, giving the whole design a geometric look. It also features a quick-release system that makes it easier to switch from one strap to the next.

According to Roger Dubuis, only 28 pieces have been launched into the market.

2025 Breitling Navitimer B19 perpetual calendar chronograph

Last year, Breitling made a major move by rolling out the Navitimer B19 perpetual calendar chronograph in three limited-edition variations. These models marked a special moment in Breitling’s books—the brand’s 140th anniversary. Apart from the stylish dials, these timepieces stood out due to the rose gold bezel, which was accentuated by other rose gold elements.

Breitling went back to the drawing board and worked on another version — one that isn't a limited edition.

New Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar marks the end of Calibre 5135 era
An end of an era
Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar

Since 2025 is Audemars Piguet’s 150th anniversary, the brand rolled out new timepieces into the market to celebrate this feat featuring the new Calibre 7138. But one new watch bids farewell to the Calibre 5135: a limited-edition Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked will be the last watch to feature the movement that has powered the brand's 41 mm openworked selfwinding perpetual calendar watches for almost a decade.

The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked "150th Anniversary" limited edition was rolled out with a 41mm casing that reflects light stylishly. Speaking of which, the watch also features an open-work design dating back to the early ‘80s—a tribute of some sort, launched on the 150th anniversary as a reminder of the original model. It was inspired by a pocket watch that's exhibited in the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet (reference 25729). However, the titanium and Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG) on the case and bracelet keep the watch decidedly modern.
