The new Roger Dubuis Easy Diver SED tourbillon features a very open skeleton dial, that allows you to literally see right thru the Caliber RD 02 SQ3 movement. The hand-wound, in-house movement features a flying tourbillon, which rotates once per minute, visible at 7 o'clock. The 48 mm case is water-resistant to an impressive 300 meters and the power reserve lasts 60-hours. The watch is available in titanium for $124,600. Images courtesy of Whitney at Roger Dubuis

Richemont is pleased to announce that the Group has acquired a controlling interest in the well known Geneva watch company, Manufacture Roger Dubuis SA in a private transaction with Mr Carlos Dias, one of the founding shareholders.

Manufacture Roger Dubuis SA will continue to manufacture and distribute watches under the 'Roger Dubuis' name and will operate as an autonomous 'Maison' within Richemont. Roger Dubuis will benefit from broader integration of its distribution into the Richemont structure as a consequence of the transaction.

Commenting on the transaction, Mr Johann Rupert, Executive Chairman of Richemont, said:

"Roger Dubuis watches are highly innovative in terms of movements and design. As a young business, it is very different from the more established specialist watchmakers within the Group today; as such it complements our Maisons perfectly. We look forward to developing the Roger Dubuis business internationally."

The transaction will have no material impact on Richemont's consolidated net assets and is not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's overall profitability for the year ending 31 March 2009.
