The double flying tourbillon created by the Roger Dubuis manufactory is a masterpiece cherished by lovers of highly complicated watches and fans of extravagant timepieces alike. The Roger Dubuis Hommage Double Flying Tourbillon won the prestigious "Temporis Watch of the Year" award in 2014; the price of the white gold model came to 315,000 euro!
The manual wind calibre RD100 consists of 452 individual, hand-made parts which are carefully assembled and finished by hand in 1,200 man-hours. 355 of them comply with the strict standards laid down by the Bureau du Poincon de Genéve - the most important certification of contemporary "haute horlogerie" – and the movement thus bears the prized Geneva seal.
The unusual dial consists simply of the movement plate and was hand-ornamented in four steps with a guilloche pattern to achieve a sense of spatial depth – making each and every one of these timepieces one of a kind. The two magnificent flying tourbillons sit at 4 o’clock and 8 o’clock and are fitted with a differential gear, which allows finetuning their performances just like in a car.
