(While ceramic is highly scratch resistant, only certain shapes and thicknesses are shock-resistant enough.) Ceramic is also not particularly lightweight. How, then, do you achieve a high-end white-colored watch? One option is white ceramic (zirconium dioxide, for example), but that has issues when it comes to how precisely it can be machined (especially with skeletonized parts) and also long-term durability.

Where carbon has issues is with lighter colors because the base material is black. That has prompted the use of various carbon composite materials that are valued due to their actual use in performance sports, interesting organic textures, lighter weight, and, of course, their exotic-sounding names. Modern trends have high-end complicated watches like the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider (the base model) using lighter-weight materials and those from the words of automotive and other vehicle racing. Reports have been coming back that MCF is a tricky material to work with, so it is unclear if Roger Dubuis will continue with this interesting material in the future, but the concept is sound. One of the latest limited-edition collaborations between the two luxury companies includes this Excalibur Spider reference RDDBEX0988 double flying tourbillon timepiece with a white-colored case produced from mineral composite fiber (MCF). The newer Lamborghini Countach may not be as disruptive as some of the original models, but it is still a highly enviable ride from a brand Roger Dubuis has been working with for a number of years now. The 2022 Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 automobile that inspired it had a starting price of over $2.6 million, and was limited to only 112 cars. That is impressive given the roughly $850,000 USD price point of this ultra-high-end Swiss Roger Dubuis timepiece. Sports car prices have been going up over the last few years (along with everything else), and, in this instance, the car is actually priced more than the watch.
