## Merlin legend meets watchmaking
Roger Dubuis closes its decade-long Knights of the Round Table collection with the Metamorph Merlin, a $439,000 timepiece limited to just 28 pieces.

> Inspired by the mythical forest where Merlin is said to have assumed multiple forms
## Dial features 57 blocks, 12 knights
The 45mm dial combines green CVD-coated elements, pink gold, glass, and Crystalium. Twelve micro-sculpted knights stand six millimeters tall where numerals normally appear.
## Forest-inspired green and gold design
The dial transforms into a deep green wooded forest with hexagonal blocks. Merlin appears engraved on the watch lug, paired with a green calfskin leather strap.
## RD821 movement powers the timepiece
The proprietary automatic movement features 172 components and a 48-hour power reserve. The 4-hertz movement is visible through an open caseback.
## Only 28 pieces exist worldwide
This ultra-rare limited edition closes Roger Dubuis' decade-spanning Knights of the Round Table series, with five of seven previous editions largely sold out.
## Key takeaway

Roger Dubuis completed its 10-year Arthurian legend watch series with the Metamorph Merlin, a $439,000 limited edition combining mythical storytelling with extreme horological precision.
