Excalibur Superbia today represents the new frontier of Luxury Watches. An object that bears the signature of Roger Dubuis, luxury creator of an original masterpiece destined to change the rules of the luxury watch market. A unique example that represents the contribution to perfection, and I would like to add experimentation. An original and dynamic interpretation of the elegant and exclusive watch.
Watches have always been loved by men capable of changing a look for their virtuosity, lightness and beauty. Is the real protagonist of elegance; we still remember Gianni Agnelli, who even wore the watch up to the cuff of his shirt. Once he said: Excalibur Superbia represent the “Do you know what the real pleasure is? A creative act. A pleasure without creativity is a deadly bore”. We are talking about a prestigious watch, perhaps of all time; it marks the beginning of a new production, still fascinating today, linked to the guarantee of quality with prices certainly out of a regular market, given the preciousness and rarity of this marvel. Breakable by its nature, majestically beautiful.
In the word “fragility”, I mean that a small imperfection caused by man would be enough to make the prices of the piece in question undoubtedly collapse. I think of the person who designed it: “I want to create something that has never been seen before”,: he must have felt. Well, unique in its design and shape, enriched by tetrahedral-shaped cut gems, with its entire structure in white gold with 238 blue sapphires and 600 diamonds. We are talking about luxury, lust, dislocation, terms etymologically linked to the Latin word meaning excess.
From cars to boating, from high fashion to jewellery, from wellness to food and wine, there is no product sector in which a dizzying offer does not enchant one. In this case, we are talking about a significant amount of money, equal to 858,500 American dollars, an investment in very high-quality jewellery with only one piece, therefore with inelastic demand. A category of luxury that is anything but discreet, with a product that is certainly not a personal shopper’s product, but a connoisseur and collector for the one who makes the phrase “Love is luxury” his own.
So, what are the characteristics of this unique piece? Its quality, its excellence, its uniqueness.
