Scott King’s Personal Watch Feature: Roger Dubuis Much More Perpetual Calendar

While Scott attended FSU for college, his heart was always at home with the Miami Hurricanes, thus explaining his love for the color orange. I remember the day that my father received this special timepiece. We were at the watch fair in Geneva where he immediately fell in love with the Much More collection at an SIHH show. Upon being handed the watch, it was love at first sight. Scott couldn’t wait until after the show to get this watch, he needed instant gratification that day and managed to convince Carlos Dias, then owner and designer of Roger Dubuis, to let him leave with the watch on his wrist. This happened to be the year when Roger Dubuis launched the Follow Me collection which was simply revolutionary at the time and paid true homage to Swiss watchmaking.

That evening, we all joined the Roger Dubuis team for an elegant dinner in Geneva. During the course of dinner, my father asked Mr. Dias how he came up with the inspirations for all of his watch collections, to which he replied: “First, I created the Hommage to pay my respects to our Swiss heritage, then I gave people my Sympathie, next was Much More, then Too Much, and now they can all Follow Me.” Here are some additional details on Scott’s favorite Roger Dubuis watch:
