Roger Dubuis unveils the latest chapter in its celebrated Knights of the Round Table collection with the “Omniscient Merlin,” a timepiece inspired by the legend of King Arthur’s trusted enchanter. Drawing on Arthurian lore and the mystical allure of Northern Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway, the watch features a 45mm Pink Gold case and a captivating dial that reinterprets the hexagonal basalt formations of the
Causeway. Carefully hand-set with 56 blocks of materials including pink gold, basalt, Murano glass, and black glass, the dial evokes the dramatic landscape Merlin was said to have gazed upon, brought to life through meticulous craftsmanship and perspective-bending design.
Each of the twelve knights, micro-engraved and cast in Pink Gold, stands as an hour marker, symbolizing courage and adventure. The figures, standing on a hexagonal-patterned pathway of black PVD-treated Pink Gold, add dynamic motion and strength, their unique poses animated by individually sculpted details. Beneath the dial, the in-house automatic Monobalancier RD821 caliber powers the timepiece, meeting the prestigious Poinçon de Genève certification standards and adorned with 14 types of hand-finishing, ensuring both beauty and performance.
The Omniscient Merlin watch, limited to only 28 pieces, continues Roger Dubuis’ legacy of blending mythological inspiration with high watchmaking. This exclusive edition includes a sword-inspired crown protector and a caseback inscribed with Merlin’s legendary call to his knights, “Around this table, the bravest knights will gather as equals.” With only 28 pieces available, this remarkable creation is designed
for collectors who appreciate a fusion of narrative, artisanal mastery, and the spirit of legendary adventure.
