Roger Dubuis is so very different today
willski,
Thanks for the LIVE report of both cars and watches.
Roger Dubuis is so very different today even from the last time I saw the timepieces at the first 'Watches & Wonders' in Hong Kong, let alone when the current Mrs MTF and I used to collect them as matching His & Hers dial designs (c. 2000-2002).
In the early days, we had different case shapes, usually rectangular, in horizontal or vertical orientation - TooMuch and MuchMore - or Golden Square but always with the same dial colour combinations. They issued every variation in limited editions of 28 pieces so it became a game to try to get your favourite series number AND still match the dials on different case sizes with the same colour case (rose gold for us).
I can still see glimmers of the original motifs in the Roman numerals on today's watch dials.
The quality and reliability today is far better.
More evidence that Roger Dubuis is different today is that you would not have expected them to be mentioned in the same sentence with the words "Pirelli" and "Lamborghini". 
Regards,
MTF
Roger Dubuis x Lamborghini | Palm Springs, CA
Last week I had the privilege and the pleasure to attend an event hosted by Roger Dubuis (RD), together with Lamborghini and PuristsPro (with special thanks to one PuristS Prime!) I’ve not had close exposure to either brands, so it was definitely somethin...
My mistake - corrected.
There was a lot going on and it was somewhat of a sensory overload! Best, Will
A wonderful write up that captured well the special experiences
And very cool highly complex mechanical toys we got to play with from Lamborghini and RogerDubuis. Bravo! Thank you. ...
Thank you for the kind words.
Indeed it was a very memorable experience! Really like that carbon Excalibur too

Thank you MTF.
The context you provide is pretty interesting for me as I wasn’t into watches during the early days of the brand.
Excellent post
It's a joy to read your report from this event since I could not accept my offer to attend. Thanks to your images and narrative, I enjoyed a taste of what I missed! The weather seems to have accommodated a wonderful day of fun, and I even spotted my buddy...
Thank you Tim.
Glad you enjoyed it, and shame you missed the event - I’m sure there will be opportunities in the future!
Great report coupled with great photos, Will.
Glad you got to enjoy such a fun event.
Thanks for the kind words Mike.
Yes, wife gave me a hall pass for this one knowing my love for the mechanical toys...
Haha.
There were some, but the number of cars and watches were more distracting believe it or not...
Cool! Looks like RD pulled no expenses to keep you enthralled.
For a second there reading your article, I thought you became a California resident. 😉 Glad you’re still a New Yorker.
Indeed.
A privilege to be hosted, and can’t imagine it was cheap... Back in the city now, but have to say I’d trade NYC winters for SoCal weather any day
