Romain Gauthier - C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition Bracelet

Romain Gauthier presented the first edition of its C by Romain Gauthier model to be equipped with a metal bracelet. Price CHF 42,000

Romain Gauthier presented the first edition of its C by Romain Gauthier model to be equipped with a metal bracelet.

Made of light and comfortable Grade 5 titanium,  the 41 mm x 9.55 mm case and the bracelet are perfectly integrated by slightly curved lugs. In addition to being light, the bracelet is also very thin thanks to the folding clasp integrated into the bracelet. The total weight of the watch, bracelet included, is 85 grams.

The production of the new bracelet requires a high level of craftsmanship and hand finishing. Articulated and assembled precisely to adapt to all types of wrists, each link is composed of hand-polished and satin-finished surfaces that play with the light.

Framed by a titanium bezel with a distinctive facetted design, the dial plate is made from natural titanium that has been sand-blasted and treated with a special coating that protects it against UV rays.

The hour-minute hands are off-centred on the horizontal axis and the hour indices are of varying lengths, while the 5-second intervals of the small seconds at 7 o’clock are also marked by tapered colored lines of differing lengths.

The tapering, three-dimensional hands are made from 18k white gold and filled with Super-LumiNova. The numerals and indexes are made entirely of Super-LumiNova, improving visibility.

As with the other editions of C by Romain Gauthier, the winding and time setting crown has been placed at 2 o'clock, freeing up space for the wrist movement. The fluted crown also allows an easy handling and provides an additional eye-catching aesthetic element to the case.

The transparent sapphire crystal case back reveals the manual-winding, in-house movement with its finger bridges made from lightweight, Grade 5 titanium. 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. Within these borders, the hand-finishing specialists at Manufacture Romain Gauthier have used a special hand-engraving technique to create a highly original dimpled texture. The movement mainplate beneath has been hand-frosted.

C by Romain Gauthier’s regulator features the Romain Gauthier balance wheel with curved arms and calibrated eccentric weights, plus hand-assembled pallet lever that is triangular for maximum rigidity.

Beating at the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour), this meticulously finished movement guarantees a power reserve of 60 hours.

Water resistant to 50 metres / 165 feet, the C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition Bracelet, either with a grey (ref. MON00580) or a salmon dial (ref. MON00581), has a price of CHF 42,000 excluding local sales taxes. romaingauthier.com
