The story of the Roger Dubuis Knights of the Round Table clock

There is a great story to be told about the Knights of the Round Table, and even knights themselves! Roger Dubuis is a Swiss watch brand co-founded in 1995 by watchmaker Roger Dubuis and designer Carlos Dias. Adhering to two basic brand principles: innovation and meticulousness, the brand has developed and produced many classic models that shine throughout the watch world in just over twenty years. At the Geneva Watch Fair (SIHH) in 2013, Roger Dubuis officially unveiled the first generation Knights of the Round Table — Knight of the Round Table I. King Arthur the Great had a meaningful round table specially prepared for the distinguished knights under his command. Whenever King Arthur held a 'round table', distinguished knights from various kingdoms would gather around this table to discuss and consult together; This round table represented equality and freedom. Rumor has it that this round table was gifted to King Arthur by his father-in-law, King Uther Pendragon; At its peak, up to 150 distinguished knights sat at King Arthur's round table. Over time, popularly, King Arthur's round table was reduced to a table of twelve knights. According to legend, King Arthur's mighty sword was forged on the Isle of Avalon after his sword broke in stone and was gifted to him by the Lake Fairy. King Arthur, who was injured in the Battle of Camlann, was also treated on Avalon Island, and moreover, this island became King Arthur's eternal resting place; In British legends, Avalon Island is considered one of the sacred lands. All four generations of Knights of the Round Table watches, from the first generation to the fourth generation, were designed with a closed case-back concept. Engraved on the gold case back were the laws of chivalry laid down by Merlin, the wizard under King Arthur's command; The chivalric spirit of courage, wisdom, freedom, not bowing to the tyrant, punishing evil and exalting good was immortalized in writing on the case back of the Knights of the Round Table, guiding humanity forever. Roger Dubuis is also a work of art born from life, but rising above life! Moreover, this time ZF Factory has done a perfect mold work!
