Roger Dubuis(REALLY annoying sound on the website) has long had an Excalibur collection, but it was just a clever marketing name. Now they've announced a watch to really reflect the name, Excalibur Table Ronde. Like so many of their models, this one is a limited edition of 88 (RD has some weird numerology with their models, all used to be limited to 28, then 28 or 280. Later 888 and 88 were added as "acceptable" editions, probably bowing to the Chinese mania for anything with the number 8). The enamelled dial is based on the Winchester Round Table and surrounded by 12 cast gold armed knights. The 18kt gold case is 45mm in diameter and powered by the excellent RD822 movement.
Overall watch. The notches in the bezel and the triple lug are signature elements of the Excalibur collection
Here's a closeup of a few of the knights, showing the detail in the castings.
