Thanks...
...FX for your great post.
I don't know what my feelings about the Pulsion are. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. I've never seen it for real so I have only the impression of many pictures. A couple of weeks ago I was at the RD boutique in Geneva but unfortunately they don't have a piece available.
I guess I'm a little bit negative in mind because the Pulsion replaces the Easy Diver line. For me the Easy Diver was the iconic Roger Dubuis watch for years. The Easy Diver stands for all the thinks I liked at RD. All the thinks I can't find at the Pulsion watch. As I wrote to the SIHH report from Oliver, it looks to me like the JLC Amvox Chrono or a Tag Heuer watch...
I don't belive that I will buy a Pulsion...sorry guys.

My view on the Roger Dubuis Pulsion Chronograph
I would like to come back to one of the most interesting watches of the past SIHH. I use the word "interesting" because it describes well my feeling about it. It is not my fav watch of the SIHH, it is not my fav Roger Dubuis novelty but it plays a very im...
Well, I still have the monopusher in mind...
And as I am a faithful guy, I can't forget it. With this monopusher, RD put the bar very high. Too high, maybe, when I see this last one. Best, and thanks for the write up! Nicolas
Because you are an homme de goût...
The Monopusher is also in my mind but well... I would be also happy with a Sympathie chronograph. Yes the case is huge but I love its shape! Thanks for your input! Fx

miss the easy diver
I concur with Stere, I miss the Easy DIver. The Easy Diver is an iconic piece, even in its latest evolution, conveying power, exclusivity, sportiness, and class all in one design--- things not easily replicated. The Excalibur was big, bold and in your fac...
Thanks for your comments...
I will come back to the softened Excalibur because there are a lot to say. Fx
Fx EX anticipation!
Anticipating your Excalibur article --- Can we expect it soon? Thanks!
'Mishmash' is a good word to use IMO
It's like RD couldn't decide on a look: cutting edge? tool watch? traditional? quirky? hey, let's do a bit of each and see how it comes out! It is a compelling watch, however.
Thanks Stere for your comments.
And to illustrate your post, here is a wristshot of an Easy Diver: Fx ...
I'll admit, this RD tempts me.
When I look at the piece as a whole it is alluring. You comments about the partial open dial are interesting. I can certainly see a solid dial being quite nice on this based upon how the numerals are executed. It seems nowadays every brand is letting us p...
Roger Dubuis Pulsion Chronograph: Love and Hate
FrX, Thanks for the opinion piece. I was a tad confused at SIHH 2012 presentation. They brought out the 4 videos that did not really explain the 4 watch lines except to emphasise: "Hey! We showed two lines before and now we have the remaining two lines th...
I like the concept of the watch...
...more than the execution. I find it very hard to read. I do, however, really like the sapphire crystal and bezel combined. That is a hot look IMO! So for now, the Monegasque remains my fave in the RD collection! Very enjoyable article, Fr.Xavier! Cheers...
black titanium
i like the black titanium version because it gives it a stealthier, sleeker appearance. something i find desirable in souch a behemoth of a watch. the mixed face works for me and, i have to say, overall this is a very attractive item. generally, the roger...
