The Excalibur Bi-Retrograde Calendar by Roger Dubuis

This year, Roger Dubuis celebrates its 30th anniversary, and for the occasion, the company pays tribute to its co-founder’s favourite complication: the bi-retrograde display.

This function, previously featured in the Excalibur Grande Complication alongside a dozen other highly complex mechanisms, takes centre stage once again. The Maison has also introduced a less complicated, more classic edition to further honour the bi-retrograde display.

Also referred to as “the ecliptic counters” by the Maison a nod to their elliptical shape and distinctive role in indicating the months and date the design showcases a symmetrical dial layout. Enhanced by refined detailing, it pays homage to the Maison’s early creations from 1996.

Farer

Farer was founded in 2015 by Stewart Finlayson, Jono Holt, Ben Lewin and Paul Sweetenham with the aim of creating a line of quartz watches. Prior to this, Sweetenham had worked as a watch buyer for a duty-free company while Holt, Lewin, and Finlayson ran a marketing and merchandising agency in London.

Farer's initial product line comprised of nine quartz watches. In September 2016, the brand added three automatic watches to its collection, named after British Royal Navy ships used by British explorers.

Farer released a set of GMT and Diving (Aqua Compressors) watches in 2017, followed by a set of 37mm hand-cased timepieces in 2018. In 2019, they introduced a collection of chronograph watches.
