I lived those years on my own skin, I was a very young girl who had just started her career as a disc-jokey, the first female DJ in Italy. That was the time of <strong>Andy Warhol<\/strong>, the years of the so-called pop-art and of \"<em>Vogue<\/em>\" by <strong>Madonna<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 like the brand clearly suggests \u2013 but it was also the time when glam-rock took off and so did the myths of Miami's South Beach and of \u201c<em>Girls on Film<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Alvaro Maggini 2016\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/Alvaro_Maggini_2016.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"Alvaro_Maggini_2016\">The <strong>Roger Dubuis Velvet<\/strong> collection represents a moment when rules are being broken, this concept can be seen more in the collection's communication message \u2013 videos are quite strong and very impacting and you either love them or hate them \u2013 rather than in the originality of its high-end jewellery-making and watch-making products. The main idea of the manufacturer is that each model of the <strong>Roger Dubuis Velvet<\/strong> collection should represent five different female personalities that go from discreet to aggressive, going through the concept of being free and independent by following the message launched by <strong>Gloria<\/strong> <strong>Gaynor<\/strong> in her 1984 song \u201c<em>I am what I am<\/em>\u201d. These five timepieces are called the <strong>Roger Dubuis Velvet Ribbon<\/strong>, the <strong>Roger Dubuis Velvet\u00a0Blossom Velvet<\/strong>, the <strong>Roger Dubuis\u00a0Black Velvet<\/strong>, the <strong>Roger Dubuis\u00a0Velvet Secret Heart<\/strong> and the <strong>Roger Dubuis\u00a0Velvet by Massaro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Roger Dubuis booth 2016\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/Roger_Dubuis_booth_2016.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"Roger_Dubuis_booth_2016\">Behind <strong>Roger<\/strong> <strong>Dubuis<\/strong>'s idea to capture the attention of those women who are after jewel-timepieces and haute-couture items through an aggressive and original social campaign and a stand decorated as if it were the red Carpet of the Croisette, there is also a collection that brings together the best of two worlds. This is clearly visible on the tonneau dial where the writing \u201c<em>Poin\u00e7on de Gen\u00e8ve<\/em>\u201d (the \u201c<em>Geneva Seal<\/em>\u201d) is finely engraved, on the in-house-built <strong>RD821<\/strong> caliber and on the rare <strong>Paraiba<\/strong> <strong>tourmalines<\/strong> of the <strong>Black<\/strong> <strong>Velvet<\/strong>, an exclusive mixture in the world of woman's watch-making.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Roger Dubuis Velvet Blossom Velvet due\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/Roger_Dubuis_Velvet_Blossom_Velvet_due.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"Roger_Dubuis_Velvet_Blossom_Velvet_due\">The <strong>Roger Dubuis\u00a0Velvet Blossom Velvet<\/strong> represents a discreet and refined woman; a mother-of-pearl-two-level-dial, a gold-made case measuring <strong>36mm<\/strong> and a dial on which <strong>Lione<\/strong> <strong>Favre<\/strong> has created a floral pattern starting off a thick plate sporting a <strong>Grand Feu<\/strong> design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Roger Dubuis Velvet Blossom Velvet\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/Roger_Dubuis_Velvet_Blossom_Velvet.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"Roger_Dubuis_Velvet_Blossom_Velvet\">The centre of each rose sports braided stems made of gold and diamonds \u2013 there are 413 stones in total, fourty-eight 0.03-carat-diamonds are located around the tonneau \u2013 and it makes the <strong>Roger Dubuis Velvet Blossom Velvet<\/strong> the finest timepiece of the entire collection. Only three pieces of this watch have been released.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Roger Dubuis Velvet Blossom Velvet tre\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/Roger_Dubuis_Velvet_Blossom_Velvet_tre.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"Roger_Dubuis_Velvet_Blossom_Velvet_tre\">The <strong>Roger Dubuis Velvet Blossom Velvet Pink<\/strong> and <strong>Blue<\/strong> (in the pictures above respectively) are two models that derive from the <strong>Roger Dubuis Velvet\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Blossom Velvet<\/strong> (154 diamond and only 88 pieces of each timepiece have been released.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Roger Dubuis Velvet Secret Heart\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/Roger_Dubuis_Velvet_Secret_Heart.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"Roger_Dubuis_Velvet_Secret_Heart\">The <strong>double<\/strong> <strong>retrograde<\/strong> <strong>date<\/strong> is the main feature of the <strong>Roger Dubuis Velvet Secret Heart<\/strong>, the most refined timepiece of the whole collection; it sports two sectors aside the central tonneau motif, a <strong>multi-level-blue-dial<\/strong> and a thin profile crafted in white gold that has been used to create the central sector of the dial, Roman numbers located at 12 o'clock and at 6 o'clock and Arabic numbers located on the retrograde scales of the calendar. Only 8 pieces of this watch will be released.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Roger Dubuis Velvet by Massaro Mood Board\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/Roger_Dubuis_Velvet_by_Massaro_Mood_Board.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"Roger_Dubuis_Velvet_by_Massaro_Mood_Board\">The <strong>Roger Dubuis\u00a0Velvet<\/strong> timepiece that best represents the spirit of the <strong>Diva<\/strong> <strong>Velvet<\/strong>\u00a0is the <strong>Roger Dubuis Velvet by Massaro<\/strong>. In my opinion, it is not the most beautiful watch of the entire collection, but it is definitely the most interesting one; haute-couture, jewellery-making and haute-horlogerie are mixed together (keep in mind that all the <strong>Roger<\/strong> <strong>Dubuis<\/strong> timepieces have been awarded the <strong>Geneva<\/strong> <strong>Seal<\/strong>.) No other manufacturer had ever tried to put these three concepts together and <strong>Roger<\/strong> <strong>Dubuis<\/strong> were the first ones to come up with such an idea and that's exactly where the originality of their products lies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Roger Dubuis Velvet by Massaro due\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/Roger_Dubuis_Velvet_by_Massaro_due.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"Roger_Dubuis_Velvet_by_Massaro_due\">The spirit of the brand from Geneva is that they love shocking people; often times, papers and magazines make use of the adjective \u201c<em>daring<\/em>\u201d in the wrong way, but that's the exact adjective that should be used to define <strong>Roger<\/strong> <strong>Dubuis<\/strong> and their apparent contradiction; the <strong>Velvet<\/strong> collection challenges conventions and it has been able to create a new haute-couture image in the world of woman's horlogerie but then\u00a0take a look at the dial of each Velvet timepiece and you will immediately realize that it clearly represents the top of haute-horlogerie too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">\n<\/p><div style=\"min-height: 10px;
