  • Catalogue Essay

    The present Excalibur Monobalancier Dr. Woo reference DBEX1041 in scratch-resistant black ceramic is crafted with fantastic artistic vision with great attention to detail. Dr. Woo is a master tattoo artist famous for his unique and intricate single-needle designs, and his long list of celebrity clients include Justin Bieber, Drake and Cara Delevingne just to name a few. His talent is fully manifested in the design of the present timepiece adorned with enigmatic iconography.

    The present watch is fitted with a black Roger Dubuis signature double surface flange with engraved symbols and transferred texts in pink gold, complementing the delicate pink gold coated graphics depicting the sun, moon and star on the skeletonised dial. For Dr. Woo, the spider motif symbolizes power and protection, and it has been a constant in his designs. The spider symbol at 2 o’clock is a nice detail completing the overall design. Bearing the Geneva Seal on the movement, the present timepiece is powered by the in-house calibre RD720SQ which boasts a power reserve of up to 72 hours, and runs with an increased precision of 4Hz frequency.

    Offered in “like-new” condition, and accompanied with guarantee and presentation box, this unorthodox Excalibur Monobalancier Dr. Woo, numbered 7 out of limited edition of 28 pieces, would undoubtedly bring a lot of joy to the lucky owner.
