The
hand-wind calibre is a unique 22 jewel movement, designed,
developed and manufactured by Romain Gauthier.
It features an- innovative crown located horizontally
under movement - virtually flush with the display back it
is is very comfortable to wear. The crown can easily be wound
while the watch is being worn.
The winding mechanism supported by a special
sapphire ball which holds the winding stem in its two positions,
i.e. winding and time-setting. The movement diameter is 34mm
x height 5.5mm. No spaces or 'port-hole' view - this is a
movement which fills its case.
Power reserve greater than 60 hours
The balance oscillates at 28,800bph
The movement features a bespoke balance wheel
with four inertia screws with regulation indicators. The positions
of the adjustable masses will be photographed before the watch
leaves the atelier. In case of further regulation being necessary
(perhaps due to the users life style) the position of the
regulating masses can be checked against the photograph (to
verify they have not moved) and precisely adjusted fast or
slow the desired amount- no guesswork .
A unique screw slot design enabling more torque
to be applied with less chance of slipping or damage. |
