The Much More collection was born at a crucial moment in Roger Dubuis's history, when the Maison was carving out its own creative identity beyond traditional Geneva codes while remaining faithful to their high level of execution. In the years when the brand was establishing itself as a benchmark for independent watchmaking, Much More represented a manifesto: sophisticated, eccentric in form, complex in mechanics but never overbearing, intended for collectors drawn to the unusual and high-tech construction. Unlike the round Excalibur watches, which embody the Maison's modern boldness, Much More is a more discreet yet no less cultured exercise in style: a project in which Art Deco aesthetics meets Genevan watchmaking complexity, giving rise to a silhouette you can recognize from a distance, not because it screams for attention, but because it holds it. Wearing it today means wearing a page from Roger Dubuis's early creative vocabulary on your wrist, when the brand wasn't chasing categories but creating new ones. A watch for connoisseurs, silent in words, eloquent in details.
The Roger Dubuis Much More Ref. M34 5740 0/3.63 is a watch that speaks the language of classic haute horlogerie, expressed through an architectural aesthetic and a caliber with a strong, intricate identity. The rectangular case, far removed from traditional round forms, measures 34 mm wide by 47 mm long, a vertical geometry that rests on the wrist with a decisive yet balanced presence. The caseback houses the automatic caliber RD 5740, a proprietary movement that expresses the Maison's artisanal approach, equipped with a bi-retrograde calendar and moon phase indication, complications that dance across the dial with rare visual balance. The retrograde hands, with their controlled jump movement, are not just a function but mechanical theater, a manifestation of a savoir-faire that prioritizes mechanics as a narrative experience, as well as a timekeeping instrument. The construction of the case, the graphic scansion of the dial and the arrangement of the complications reflect a design rigour in which each element appears to have been aligned according to classical, almost musical proportions.
