Roger Dubuis Excalibur Round Table Knights Watch – Legendary Dial Art
The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Round Table Knights Watch is a breathtaking example of modern haute horlogerie blended with historical storytelling. Inspired by the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, this timepiece transforms mythology into a sculptural mechanical work of art. At the center of this masterpiece stand 12 hand-cast solid gold knights, each serving as an hour marker. These miniature figures, standing only 6.5mm tall, are individually crafted using a complex pure gold casting technique. No two knights are identical — each features different facial expressions, armor details, weapons, and stances, turning the dial into a miniature battlefield of artistry and precision.
Grand Feu Enamel Round Table Dial
The dial of the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Round Table Knights Watch is inspired by the famous Round Table in Winchester Great Hall, reconstructed during the reign of King Henry VIII. Using traditional Grand Feu enamel techniques, artisans created rich color layers that evoke depth, warmth, and historical authenticity. Around the edge of the round table are engraved the names of the knights in Gothic script, reinforcing its medieval inspiration. This is not simply a dial — it is a stage, a historical artifact, and a visual narrative etched in enamel and gold.
Signature Excalibur Case Architecture
The 45mm case of the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Round Table Knights Watch is crafted in 18K rose gold and showcases the instantly recognizable DNA of the Excalibur collection. Its notched bezel, oversized crown protection, and distinctive triple lug construction give the watch its bold architectural identity. Despite its large size, the proportions are carefully balanced to frame the three-dimensional dial scene like a theatrical showcase, drawing the eye directly toward the legendary knights.
