Watchfinder & Co. presents:

I don’t think it’ll cause much shock when I say that the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Chronograph’s looks are an acquired taste. For many I think that would be putting it mildly, and for a few more they’d probably rather burn their devices than see any more of this—but for me, despite its quirks, despite its oddities, the Excalibur Chronograph is a strong guilty pleasure, a definite must in the hypothetical ultimate collection. Let me explain why.
