The EXCALIBUR LADY Jewellery collection also features some limited editions.

Roger Dubuis Kingsquare
The flying tourbillon is ROGER DUBUIS’s trademark. Housed in a KINGSQUARE case, it asserts its presence in a particularly striking way. The KingSquare flying tourbillons are off-centred between 7 and 8 o’clock and can also be set in the spectacular openwork construction of the skeleton movement, with its black bridges forming the initials “KS02”.

Roger Dubuis Easy Diver
The sporting world is closely linked to the measurement of short time intervals. The EASYDIVER chronograph is the perfect reflection of this reality. Speed, performance, power and robustness are in the genes of the chronographs in the EASYDIVER collection, which beat to the rhythm of a mechanical chronograph movement that is as accurate as it is complex.

Breitling Montbrillant 47
With its 47 mm diameter, this limited series of 2,000 in steel and 500 in steel & rose gold asserts itself through its generous volumes and its fine presence on the wrist. However, its design features several other standout characteristics. By seamlessly integrating the case and bracelet, Breitling has endowed this extremely stylish chronograph with flowing and balanced lines that further accentuate its unique character. The black or silver dial also stands out for its original ring-shaped counters.
Breitling Skyracer
The Skyracer is not only eyecatching because of its exceptional technical look featuring a black dial, red hands and a broad red or black rubber-molded bezel. This selfwinding chronograph representing the peak of mechanical functionality is also distinguished by its exclusive mechanism enabling a double visualization of the measured times. The 60-minute totalizer with center pointer guarantees peerless readability of any measurement under one hour. For longer durations, a single two-hand counter at 9 o’clock shows both the hours and minutes. This means the time elapsed is read off just as one reads the time, instantly and with no risk of confusion. This exemplary efficiency is reinforced by a slide rule enabling simple and direct handling. The resolutely aviation-oriented vocation of the Skyracer is also highlighted on the caseback, which carries a reminder of the essential symbols of the Ground Air Visual Signal Code.
