PuristSPro Moderator Patrick_y tries his best to convey his experience as a guest of the Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini event, hosted by Roger Dubuis for VIP Guests and Press. A QUICK HISTORY OF THE BRAND Roger Dubuis was a visionary watchmaker who pioneere...

Everyone in attendance was "filled with personality" and almost all were well versed in watches. One of the guests, a lady, who owns over a dozen watches (among many other things) actually described a Patek Philippe as "boring" and "you see them everywher...

It's really bad to see the time in the photos; it's a bit better in person. The case and crown design is actually very pleasing. I really like Riddler's new Roger Dubuis in gold. It's a very nice design. Beautiful people, beautiful cars, and very nice wat...

I've often driven extremely impressive road cars. BUT, I've never driven a true race car. That was an experience. Brakes were cold when I got the car, tires were cold, I could tell. Brake pedal also had very little travel. An incredible and memorable expe...

Roger dubuis is a brand I am watching closely. Hope to own one some day. I think it is growing on me a lot. Just waiting for a slightly more entry level sports series from them. Ps: on a side note, just wondering why this is under Horological meandering n...

and the history of watch/automotive brand partnership has been littered with failures, thus the natural skepticism of collectors. I actually quite like the new RDs, though the old Sympathies have a place in heart. Being a Lamboghini owner, to be frank, th...
Something new is coming...
By: patrick_y : November 23rd, 2018-09:50
It's coming soon! It will cost less. And it will be automatic, not manual wind.
Very good!

RD color scheme

Thanks so much for sharing! That Gehry building is out of this world and that final Lambo/ RD wrist shot blew me away. Me wants one ASAP (watch not car)
My pleasure! Thanks for commenting!
