The Chevaliers de la Table Ronde collection by Roger Dubuis has been expanded with the introduction of the Métamorphe Merlin, a timepiece that tells the story of the legendary wizard Merlin's transformation. This new addition is the final chapter in a trilogy dedicated to Merlin, showcasing the brand's expertise in combining high-end watchmaking with exceptional craftsmanship. The watch features a 45mm rose gold case with a sculpted design, evoking a scene from a legend.
The case of the Métamorphe Merlin is crafted from 18-carat rose gold and features a mix of polished and brushed finishes. The sides of the case are designed to tell a story, with a hand-engraved scene depicting Merlin's transformation into a white deer. The watch also features a sapphire glass ring under the bezel, allowing for a multi-angle view of the dial and adding depth to the overall design. The timepiece is water-resistant up to 30 meters.
The dial of the Métamorphe Merlin is a three-dimensional masterpiece, featuring 57 hexagonal elements made from various materials, including rose gold, transparent glass, and green CVD-treated glass. The dial is surrounded by 12 rose gold knights, each measuring 6mm in height and uniquely detailed with their own armor and medieval weapon. The dial is designed to resemble a forest, where Merlin transforms into a deer, and features rose gold hands with green Super-LumiNova inserts.
The Métamorphe Merlin is powered by the RD821 caliber, a self-winding movement developed by Roger Dubuis and certified by the Geneva Seal. The movement features 172 components, 33 jewels, and a skeletonized rotor in rose gold. The RD821 caliber operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 48-hour power reserve. The watch's design prioritizes mechanical precision and quality of execution.
The Roger Dubuis Chevaliers de la Table Ronde Métamorphe Merlin is a limited edition of 28 pieces, with a price available upon request. This exclusive timepiece joins the previous Merlin interpretations in the Chevaliers de la Table Ronde collection, continuing Roger Dubuis's approach to combining storytelling, traditional craftsmanship, and contemporary high-end watchmaking.
The Métamorphe Merlin's design elements, such as the rose gold case and dial, are complemented by a green alligator leather strap with a triple-folding rose gold clasp. The watch's 45mm case size and 30-meter water resistance make it a statement piece for those who appreciate unique and exclusive timepieces.
With the introduction of the Métamorphe Merlin, Roger Dubuis continues to push the boundaries of haute horlogerie, combining artistic expression with technical expertise. This limited-edition timepiece is a testament to the brand's commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.
