SKORPYO LUXURY CLUB

2011 sees an almost brand-new Roger Dubuis under the rule of Georges Kern (also of IWC and Baume & Mercier). Attempting to give the brand a new personality, the Roger Dubuis of today is all about sexy Casio games and midnight intrigue. The main collection for 2011 is the La Monegasque. One of the most interesting models is this one with a perpetual calendar and moon phase indicator. It looks lovely in the new looking case that is 44mm wide and in 18k pink gold. The bezel is actually in black PVD coated titanium.

The dials of the La Monegasque models are themed after roulette spinners. One of the limited editions actually looks just like one. You can see that include in the rings of numbers around the center. In true Roger Dubuis fashion, the in-house made automatic movement is complex and has a provocative layout. On the bottom is a really great looking moon phase indicator next to a date dial. There is a small leap year indicator above the date dial, while two small windows serve to indicate the month and date of the week. Really beautiful in my opinion. The movement is the Roger Dubuis calibre RD821J. For those interesting in Roger Dubuis styling and the complications the manufacture is known for - this upcoming La Monegasque Perpetual Calendar watch might be just the thing.
