In 2013 Roger Dubuis will present the Excalibur Table Ronde, a
limited series of 88 watches featuring 12 knights and their swords
carved in gold and forming the hour markers around the enamelled dial.
Indeed this is an evocation of the King Arthur and the Knights of the
Round Table legend, and a brilliant evocation at that — see the dial
close-up shot below. The design mimics (though not completely) the
Winchester Round Table, also pictured below. Here’s a first look, stay
tuned for more to come…

The design displayed on the Winchester Round Table dates from 1552 and was made to impress the visiting Emperor Charles V
