With an imposing physique to match his character and a volcanic temperament, the Scottish actor Gerard Butler is one of the big screen’s leading personalities. An Anglo-Irish aristocrat, considered one of the world’s most elegant women, she is the friend and muse of the most famous photographers and art directors. Just like the character he played in the film «Largo Winch» alongside Sharon Stone, the French actor Tomer Sisley is a charming adventurer with plenty of punch.

For three days, these friends of the brand honored us with their presence at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva. At the invitation of Roger Dubuis, they were key players in the salon events and highlights. Thus these exceptional personalities played host each evening to some fifty guests at a dinner with an Excalibur legend theme. Readily granting interviews and autographs, our three ambassadors contributed their artistic sensibility and a touch of glamour to the scene.

The Roger Dubuis stand was definitely at center stage. On Monday, January 21st, Jean-Marc Pontroué, CEO of the brand, and Rémy Pagani, mayor of Geneva, inaugurated the stand with the traditional ribbon cutting, using a sword, to the sound of medieval trumpets.

The Geneva watchmaker took advantage of this year’s theme, Excalibur, to create a decor inspired by the chivalric code, a world of expertise and the mastery of power. Thus, sheltered under the wing of an immense eagle, journalists, visitors and professionals were able to experience this whimsical atmosphere as they were introduced to the major innovation of 2013: the Excalibur Quatuor.
