Object description

Case and Dial Design

The Roger Dubuis MuchMore features a substantial rectangular case with a curved profile, constructed from 18K white gold. The design includes a stepped bezel and straight lugs fitted with screwed white gold bars, enhancing its geometric aesthetic. The case measures 25 by 44 mm with a thickness of 8 mm and is water-resistant, incorporating sapphire crystals on both the front and the exhibition case back, the latter of which is secured by eight screws.

The dial is finished in matte silver, providing a neutral backdrop for the large, painted radial Arabic numerals that extend toward the edges of the rectangular form. A distinctive feature is the central concentric oval minute track, which incorporates a 24-hour graduation sequence. Time is indicated by blued steel hands designed in a combination of spade and lozenge shapes, which contrast against the silver surface.

Movement and Mechanics

Powering this timepiece is the Caliber RD 18, a mechanical movement that is rhodium-plated and finished with fausses cotes decoration. The movement contains 20 jewels and utilizes a straight-line lever escapement to maintain accuracy. To ensure precise timekeeping, it is equipped with a monometallic balance that is adjusted to five positions, a self-compensating flat balance spring, and a micrometer regulator for fine tuning.

The movement carries the Seal of Geneva quality mark, indicating compliance with the specific criteria for this certification. The construction is observed through the transparent exhibition case back, displaying the finish and technical execution of the movement. The entire watch is presented with an 18K white gold Roger Dubuis buckle.

The branding 'Roger Dubuis, Horloger Genevois' appears in association with the MuchMore series, emphasizing the manufacturer's identity.
