  • Catalogue Essay

    Regarded as one of the modern greats of traditional Swiss watchmaking, Roger Dubuis created his own brand in 1995 after an illustrious career at some of the most prestigious manufacturers. Early examples of Roger Dubuis timepieces have witnessed a spike in demand by dedicated collectors in recent times. One of his earliest creations when Mr. Dubuis established his own brand was the Hommage Condottieri.

    The Hommage Condottieri is purely Roger Dubuis, it enabled the world to witness what his own creations would look like after 20 years at Patek Philippe in the complications department. Extremely sleek through its design and craftsmanship, the Hommage Condottieri encased in a 3-piece round-shaped case features the cal. RD27 up to observatory standards underneath the snow white enamel dial with painted black Roman numerals. Regarded as one of the grail movements by the firm, the original base of the movement derives from a 1940s Tavannes cal. 507 finessed with Dubuis’ touch of modifications including a swan neck regulator, Breguet spiral as well as polished and champfered screws only to mention some. Built up to Poinçon de Genève and Observatoire National de Besançon standards, all early Roger Dubuis pieces all bear an observatory movement.
