Determined to push boundaries and to drive tradition into an expressive and contemporary new era, Roger Dubuis has conceived and committed itself to a radical and uncompromising approach, known as Hyper Horology™.
Introducing the Monovortex™ Split-Seconds Chronograph. This ground-breaking creation watch not only controls the forces of gravity, but also highlights the emphatic ingenuity of Roger Dubuis by reinventing both the tourbillon and the oscillating mass, each associated with one of the most complex traditional fine watchmaking complications: the Split-Seconds Chronograph.
While many traditional Tourbillons compensate for the negative effect of gravity on one specific axis, Roger Dubuis has extended that ability across every surface. Positioned at 9 o’clock, the Conical Monovortex™ Tourbillon has a 360° trajectory, protecting the precision of the watch, no matter the position of the wearer’s wrist.
After years of research, and more than 8 months of technical optimisation, the Turborotor Cylindrical Oscillating Weight has been born. Sitting at 12 o’clock, this surprising component is positioned vertically, so that the entire force of gravity pushes down on the design like a spinning barrel.
Powered by the RD114 Calibre, the Monovortex™ Split-Seconds Chronograph also celebrates the comeback of an iconic complication at Roger Dubuis: the Split-Seconds Chronograph. Cleverly constructed with a double column wheel system, it is enhanced with a Rotating Minute Counter, known as the 120° RMC.
The aesthetics of this watch play with the symmetry of the movement and feature a 47mm casing made of hyper-tech MCF (Mineral Composite Fibre). Exclusively developed by Roger Dubuis, this ingenious material is 2.5 times lighter than ceramic and 13% lighter than carbon.
