Being an ambassadrice for Roger Dubuis, I was so excited to visit their booth and to explore the new VELVET collection that is inspired by the world of the Diva. With those stunning new watches, Roger Dubuis demonstrates its commitment to melding fine watchmaking with the world of haute joaillerie, a true highlight of the SIHH 2012.
