Romain Gauthier's amazing watch, that propels him more into the rarified world of top end Independent Watchmakers. This tour de force, is a micro mechanical engineering marvel featuring several never been done before complications, that aid in efficiency and mechanical superiority. The first is the use of a jewelled chain with a cam (similar principle as a chain & fussee) for a constant torque mechanism and the second is a ratchet winding system for the synthetic sapphire sided main spring barrel. These features of the winding and mainspring help in reducing friction, a watchmaking nemesis! Add to this the exceedingly high level of traditional hand finishing found in the Vallee de Joux and one is presented with a superlative piece.
Presented here also is the platinum case with optional white enamel dial. It is also available in 18K WG with the gold frosted bridges and the option of a guilloche dial. The platinum was limited to only 20pcs and is sold out. The WG variant is available to order.
Also available in a Titanium case starting at $122,100 with a variety of dial options.
