C by Romain Gauthier Platinum Edition Bracelet
The C by Romain Gauthier Platinum Edition Bracelet features a platinum case and bracelet, complemented by an 18k white gold movement and dial, which adds to its prestigious character. The design of the bracelet is intricately crafted with high polished and satin brushed surfaces on each link, handcrafted to highlight the interplay of light and showcase the artisanal expertise involved in its creation. The bracelet is seamlessly integrated with the case, embodying Romain‘s vision where “the bracelet is the case, and the case is the bracelet.”
The dial boasts an 18k white gold surface with a unique ice blue color, achieved through a slight blue PVD treatment. It displays an off-centred hour and minute configuration, enhanced by Super-LumiNova-filled white gold hands and tapering hour indices, which reflect the brand’s dedication to traditional watchmaking aesthetics with a modern twist. The movement, visible through the sapphire crystal display back, showcases meticulous hand-finishing techniques, such as polished bevels, hand-frosted textures, and a distinctive hand-engraved structure.
Technical features of the watch include an in-house manual-winding movement with a stop-seconds mechanism, allowing precise time setting. The watch also includes Romain‘s signature hacking seconds and a cleverly designed snail cam to halt and restart the balance wheel. The regulator features a unique Romain Gauthier balance wheel with calibrated weights and a hand-assembled pallet lever.
This piece is not limited in edition, allowing for personalization and customization, thereby enabling collectors to reflect their uniqueness within this exquisite watch. With an overall weight of 340g, including the platinum bracelet and clasp, and a water resistance of up to 50m, the watch is both a statement of luxury and functionality, retailing at CHF 118,000 before taxes.
