Introducing the Roger Dubuis “Knights of the Round Table”
The Low-Down
It’s one of the most unusual watches money can buy; and that must be the point, since Roger Dubuis, in staking ownership of the concept of “hyper horology”, must by definition make watches intended for the very few. We enlist an excerpt from Roger Dubuis’ press release to explain this present watch, the sixth in its Knights of the Round Table collection:
“The threat is real. The battle is on. In the mysterious depths of a forgotten place, twelve brave knights prepare to defend their kingdom against the power of gravitational force. The ground is fracturing, the broken earth begins to crack. Sensing danger, the knights position themselves against this invisible enemy. Will they triumph?”

IMHO
It was a very big table that around which King Arthur and his knights sat; anywhere from 100 to 300 seats, though there is some consensus that it was 150, with one seat strictly reserved for the true Grail Knight, a hero who also had the purest heart, and chaste. Twelve to denote the hours does nicely, and it should be plainly obvious that the watch isn’t for everybody. Roger Dubuis made this watch because it can, for the collector who has his eye fixed on the very different and unobtainable, that the word “common sense” does not mean sensible as it is usually intended, but merely “common”.
