Celebrities just can't get enough of their luxury watches. Why? Luxury watches exude style, quality and function and they scream power and success �C they're a status symbol. Famous singers, actors, musicians and sportspeople can be seen casually wearing Rolex, Omega, Christian Dior, Jaeger LeCoultre and other watches that cost thousands of dollars.Actor John Travola of "Grease" fame wears a Breitling Navitimer watch, one of the world's greatest cellists Yo-Yo Ma wears a Rolex Datejust watch, and the eternally young-looking Leonardo DiCaprio wears a Jaeger LeCoultre Master Minute Repeater watch that will set you back over one hundred thousand dollars.Tennis pro Roger Federer, who has won more grand slam titles than any other male tennis player in history, is one of the faces of Rolex.

Roger Dubuis Excalibur Tourbillon Minute repeaterThe new Roger Dubuis Excalibur Tourbillon Minute repeater men’s watch is the most interesting offering from Roger Dubuis for this year.First revealed in January 2010 at Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva, the new watch will be produced in an extremely limited edition of only 28 pieces.Roger Dubuis Excalibur Tourbillon Minute repeater men's wrist watchLike the rest of the Excalibur family, the watch comes in a generously sized 45 mm case with its fluted bezel clearly resembling the last year’s Breguet Marine Royale 5847 alarm wrist watch.Powered by the RD08 automatic mechanical movement with a pair of platinum micro-rotors, flying tourbillon escapement and a minute repeater with centrifugal dissipater, the caliber is partly visible through the open-worked dial. The rhodium-plated movement is beautifully decorated and is a pleasure to look at either through the dial or through the sapphire exhibition case back.Its tourbillon carriage, which is slightly off-centered and located between 6 and 5 o’clock positions, is shaped like a Celtic cross and somehow reminds me of Vacheron Constantin tourbillon watches.The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Tourbillon Minute repeater allows for on demand chime of the hours, quarters and minutes.Packed with all these complications and stopping just one step short of becoming a grand complication piece, the 415-parts movement is still rather thin staying within the 8.80 mm range. The fact is even more admirable if one remembers that the movement is capable of storing enough energy to power the watch for at least 60 hours without further winding.
