The C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition Bracelet – Freedom Collection is a meticulously crafted luxury timepiece that exemplifies modernity, craftsmanship, and innovative design. This watch is distinguished by its assertive new black dials, technical sophistication, and aesthetic elegance.
Design and Aesthetics
This model showcases two dial variations: a full black titanium dial and a partially openwork sapphire dial.
Full Black Titanium Dial
Crafted from Grade 5 titanium, the dial features a three-dimensional, straight-grained texture, accentuated by striking white details. This design not only enhances the watch’s assertive character but also ensures excellent readability, even in low-light conditions, thanks to Super-LumiNova on the indexes, numerals, and hands.
Openwork Sapphire Dial
This dial reveals the intricate components of the movement, showcasing Romain Gauthier’s sophisticated engineering and craftsmanship. The interplay between transparency and structure transforms the watch into a technical and aesthetic masterpiece, with blue and white accents adding to its allure.
Case
The case is sculpted from natural Grade 5 titanium, measuring 41mm in diameter and 9.55mm in thickness, with a lug-to-lug measurement of 47.8mm. The unique geometric profile of the titanium bezel—a round shape with integrated facets—creates a captivating play of light and shadow, which is replicated around the sapphire crystal on the case back. The case is water-resistant to 50 meters.
Bracelet
Made entirely of Grade 5 titanium, the bracelet is lightweight and designed for comfort. It features an integrated folding clasp and has been engineered to seamlessly integrate with the watch case for an organic and ergonomic fit. The bracelet’s links feature contrasting finishes, with satin-finished surfaces and hand-polished connecting elements, highlighting traditional craftsmanship.
Movement
The watch is powered by an in-house, hand-wound movement, showcasing a balance frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offering a 60-hour power reserve. The movement’s components include titanium, steel, stainless steel, and German silver, with superlative hand-finished decoration. It features a stop-seconds mechanism using a clever snail cam design for precise time setting.
