Roger Dubuis makes “Hyper Horology.” not watches. Dubois, like the hypercar market it endorses, crafts timepieces that aren’t even in the same realm as daily drivers: they’re painstakingly engineered works of design fueled by technology unparalleled (and unnecessary) to that of normal watches.
It’s only right that Dubois’ latest timepiece, the $720,000 Excalibur Spider Countach DT/X, is essentially a wearable Lamborghini, both metaphorically and in terms of the craftsmanship that drives its design.
The Excalibur Spider Countach DT/X, which is part of the Roger Dubois x Lamborghini Squadra Corse line, is the partnership’s crown jewel.
It’s by far the most expensive and limited piece available – only eight editions were available, and they sold out almost immediately after the watch was unveiled.
Dubois’ Excalibur Spider Countach DT/X — technically known as “RD112” in homage to the 112 Countach LPI 800-4 units — is inspired by Lamborghini’s Countach LPI 800-4 and has a super sleek exterior that’s all aerodynamic curves and shiny metal, finished in Bianco Siderale (white) to match Ferruccio Lamborghini’s personal Countach.
The Excalibur Spider Countach DT/X is built to be aerodynamic, incorporating the Countach’s “periscopio” roof and NACA intakes.
The Excalibur Spider Countach DT/X is a perfect fit for the Lamborghini that inspired it, from the complicated, gravity-compensating movement to the skeletal three-dimensional rubber strap inspired by tire maker Pirelli.
Both designs demand inconceivably exacting levels of engineering know-how, have more technical specifications than anyone could ever need, and are long out of stock.
