Roger Dubuis signs spine-tingling partnership with legendary Run To Monaco
Building on the decidedly technical, automobile-inspired spirit of its iconic Excalibur Spider, the Manufacture Roger Dubuis shifts into an even higher gear with the signing of a partnership with the Run To Monaco, the world’s most exclusive six-day supercar rally, culminating at the FORMULA ONE GRAND PRIX DE MONACO 2015.
The Run To Monaco is a remarkable journey for supercar owners from all around the world, combining exhilarating driving through assiduously planned routes, stylish- world-class experiences in breathtaking settings, and exclusive FORMULA ONE involvement.
With its line-up of 35 cars and 70 participants, the Run to Monaco is simply the best ticket available down to FORMULA ONE’s signature event. Offering a glamorous cocktail of the most luxurious hotels, Michelin starred cuisine, as well as a beautiful super yacht berthed right in the centre of the action during the race weekend action, there’s no better way to experience this Jewel in the crown of motorsport.
From May 19th to 24th 2015, Roger Dubuis will accompany 35 of the most accomplished vehicles ever built and stars of motor racing as they take to the wild spaces of Spanish Basque Country. Crossing the high peaks of the Pyrenees Mountains the supercar event of the year comes to rest on the shores of the Cote D’Azur at chic St. Jean Cap Ferrat.
Run since 1929, no race or track on the Calendar can truly match the excellence, glamour, prestige and challenge of the Monaco Grand Prix, possibly the most iconic motorsport race in the world, alongside the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with which it forms the Triple Crown of Motorsport.
Fine watchmaking and supercars
By joining forces with the world’s most fun and glamorous race, Roger Dubuis brings its own special blend of Incredible Mechanics to a magic sun-drenched six-day adventure that takes place over a thousand miles of Europe’s best driving roads.
The combination of fantastic scenery, stunning performance, powerful injection of adrenalin and total luxury from start to finish for which the exclusive, inspirational Run To Monaco is famous, is strongly reminiscent of the entire Roger Dubuis ethos.
Like the magnificent machines which take part in the Run To Monaco, the iconic Excalibur Spider, with its unique Skeleton Double Flying Tourbillon, channels the raw power of a race car equipped with a state-of-the-art engine and amazing bodywork.
Just like designing a supercar, right from the first sketches, the brand’s designers, engineers and watchmakers work together on choosing the materials, the components to be incorporated and the production principles to be established in order to ensure optimal long-term reliability.
The latter goal is also met by achieving a perfect match between form and function. Fine watchmaking and supercars.
“With its inherent drama, luxury at every level, theatricality and allergy to any form of convention, the Run To Monaco is the perfect backdrop for our brand” says Roger Dubuis’ CEO, Jean-Marc Pontroué “What could be more in keeping with our commitment to the exceptional than the unique and total quality of six days of some of our most select clientele from all over the planet, a range of the ultimate supercars, the most gourmet food and wine and the fleet of acrobats, conjurers and performers that make each Run To Monaco so much more than just a drive?
We are delighted to be part of this event and look forward to sharing an Incredible Journey with unbelievable landscapes, glamour, Provencal brea fasts, truffle lunches, bull jumping, and a host of other thrills and entertainment.”
Run To Monaco Co-founder, Chris Welch commented on the partnership with Roger Dubuis, “I am delighted that after four years of organising the Run To Monaco, this unique event has become the quintessential rendez-vous for some of the finest names in luxury the world has to offer.
I am also thrilled that Roger Dubuis, a spectacular luxury watch Manufacture with which we share a passion for excellence and exclusivity, wishes to be part on our journey. ”
Run to Monaco guests will be fast-tracked to watch the race on the event’s very own super-yacht in the heart of the action, moored in Monaco’s harbour.
The event will climax with a glamorous dinner and dance in Monaco’s Old Town, followed on the last evening by a wild and wonderful Run to Yacht Party, the grand finale of intriguing surprises and great music.
