From ROGER DUBUIS, a Japanese limited watch “Excalibur Monovalancie Sorayama” in collaboration with Hajime Sorayama is now available. It will be released on July 19, 2022 (Tuesday).
“Play of light and movement” that came true on the clock
Excalibur Monovalancie Sorayama ¥ 8,030,000
Hajime Sorayama is an artist known for his masterpiece “Sexy Robot”, which expresses a female image with a chrome-plated robot. In collaboration with Roger Dubuis, we will prepare a wristwatch that combines the advanced watch technology unique to the brand with the expression unique to Sorayama.

The feature of “Excalibur Monovalancie Sorayama” is the micro rotor placed on the upper left of the dial. Inspired by the visual effects that stockings produce when they receive light, Sorayama reconstructed the micro-rotor to create a striped “moiré” pattern created by light interference.

The moiré effect is caused by the interference of light caused by the overlap of two grids. In this work, the metallic parts of the moving parts of the rotor are finely decorated with guilloche to form a regular pyramid-shaped pattern that reflects light. By fixing sapphire glass on it and engraving regular black lines, it was designed so that the moire effect appears according to the movement of the wrist and the light.

In addition, the star signature, which is the icon of Roger Dubuis, is also arranged. While keeping the star shape, the original sharp and clean form has been changed to a curved and rounded one, and the shape of the center has also been designed from a circle to a pentagon. In addition, the case and bracelet are the first full-polished finish in the brand’s history. By erasing the contrast of each part and slightly curving all angles, it gives a smooth and organic impression.
In addition, this work, which appears in the “Mono Valancie” series announced in April 2022, is equipped with the performance-enhanced caliber “RD720SQ”. The world’s first silicon escapement and new geartrain tooth optimizations increase efficiency by more than 50%, providing up to 72 hours of power reserve, and innovative new microrotors in tungsten with pink gold. The ball bearings reduce noise, and the newly developed balance wheel is designed to be less susceptible to day differences.
