Natural Grade 5 Titanium 3D stractured dial

The dial is made from natural titanium that has been structured to provide a three-dimensional straight-graining texture.

Gold hands, numbers and index in 3D

The tapering, three-dimensional hands and index are made from 18k white gold and filled with Super-LumiNova, as are the numerals and applied hourmarkers, each of which has been produced from a single piece of white gold and features bevelled edges to give a punchy presence.

White gold hands, filled with luminova as the numerals.

The seconds dial stars

Rather than a series of enclosed circles, the open, airy dial is made of part orthogonal lines forming vanishing points with the axes of the hands, reinforcing the notion of continuity.

Case

Framing the dial is a titanium bezel with an eye-catching, geometric profile unlike anything previously seen on a Romain Gauthier timepiece.

In between the bezel and caseback, the one-piece caseband and lugs, which have been adjusted to fit all wrists, are geometrically sculpted, with satin and polished finishes as well as aesthetic grooves cleverly deployed to draw out the resulting shapes

Movement

Made from Grade 5 Titanium, and insipred by the finger bridges style, the design of the movement follows the watchmaking history of the Vallée de Joux, with a modern approach, reflecting Romain’s vision of the evolution of tradition. The outer edges of each bridge all feature a double bevel, while the flat bridge surfaces and rubies are each framed by a raised border that has been straight-grained.

Contrasting tones and textures

Main bridges feature a variety of hand-finishing techniques carried out in-house. The outer edges of each bridge all feature a double bevel, while the flat bridge surfaces and rubies are each framed by a raised border that has been straight-grained.

Hand-engraved bouchardée texture

Inside the bridge borders, the hand-finishing specialists at Manufacture Romain Gauthier have used a special hand-engraving technique to create a highly original dimpled texture called "boucharder"

Rubber strap and Titanium pin buckle

The rubber strap with titanium pin buckle follows the form of the angular lugs and rounded caseband so it appears as a continuous, organic extension of the case.
