Two and a half times lighter than titanium, carbon is often connected with noticeably sporty or perhaps masculine watches. Roger Dubuis uses it to shape an iconoclastic and remarkably feminine creation. The multi-layered technique accustomed to make up the carbon situation produces a wave-like effect that’s never exactly the same two times for the way the sunshine plays regarding this, thus rendering each cheap fake watches fantastic.
This darkly modern and urban feminine look frames a tone-on-tone carbon dial. The effect is offset by white Roman numerals, white gold appliques at 6 and 12 o’clock, as well as by the white Roger Dubuis and Poinçon de Genève inscriptions. The 66 Paraiba tourmalines adorning the bezel and ‘third-lug’ décor match perfectly the satin strap secured by a DLC-titanium folding clasp.
Following on from the world-first gemsetting on rubber named “soft stones in the sky” introduced at the SIHH 2015, Roger Dubuis Velvet Replica introduces the first timepiece to feature gemset carbon, an unprecedented association that called for a newly evolved technique that has also been duly patented.
In this year that the Manufacture is dedicating to Women, this latest innovation is intended specifically for women although it is bound to intrigue the masculine mind – and eye. One could in some ways view this process as associating two different gems, since diamonds are a crystalline form of carbon. The prongs on this Black Velvet ‘paw’ holding the Paraiba tourmalines are white, thus subtly accentuating the visual impact of the stones.
Today’s woman expects infinitely more of her just Swiss replica watches than just a pretty face – however original and appealing it may be. The Black Velvet thus beats to the 28,800 vibrations per hour tune of a mechanical self-winding movement. Finely adjusted in five positions and delivering a 48-hour power reserve, Calibre RD821 is adorned with rhodium plating, ‘Côtes de Genève’ decoration and Poinçon de Genève finishes. The Black Velvet is issued in an 88-piece limited edition.
