Partially openwork dial
The C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition Six features a sapphire dial that is partially open to the seconds mechanism and escapement line.
The seconds wheel is the main feature of this opening. In addition to its mechanical aspect, this wheel is an aesthetic symbol unique to the brand.
The partial opening of the dial also reveals the escapement line assembly with the escapement wheel, balance and its pallet. A decorative bridge on the lower part of the dial has been added - thanks to a special hand engraving technique, the specialists at Manufacture have reproduced the boucharder texture found inside the bridges on the back of the movement.
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.
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 whose eye-catching, geometric profile is unlike anything previously seen on a Romain Gauthier timepiece.
In between the bezel and caseback, the one-piece caseband and lugs are geometrically sculpted with satin and polished finishes as well as aesthetic grooves cleverly deployed to draw out the resulting shapes.
