ROGER DUBUIS | The Kabuto Legacy

Roger Dubuis presents the Excalibur Kabuto Legacy, a métiers d'art timepiece that gathers twelve of the great commanders of feudal Japan on a single dial.​ Each of the twelve bushō is recalled by his kabuto, the helmet that announced his lineage and his philosophy across a battlefield. Their twelve family crests sit on the caseback. At the centre of the dial stands Edo Castle, rebuilt in miniature from seventeen elements across four decorative techniques, marking the era of peace that began in 1603 and held for 265 years. The deep indigo of the dial and strap follows a single colour from the cloth worn beneath samurai armour to the prints of Hokusai and Hiroshige.​ The Kabuto Legacy draws on two traditions of demanding craft. In Geneva, every movement is conceived, produced, and finished in-house, certified by the Poinçon de Genève. In Japan, master armourers have held the making of a kabuto to that same uncompromising measure for centuries, an art passed down from generation to generation.​ A limited edition of 28 timepieces, unveiled in Tokyo.​ Discover the timepiece: https://www.rogerdubuis.com/watches/excalibur/the-kabuto-legacy-45mm-rddbex1139 Ref.
