Jay (Eire) shares an intimate look at his Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition Six, capturing its essence through everyday wear. His post explores the challenges and unexpected triumphs of photographing a high-horology piece in natural, indoor settings. This article delves into Jay's personal experience, offering insights into the watch's wearability and photographic nuances.

Two indoor pictures from this week.  I am really trying to wear this one every day, and for all occasions.  So far, so good. 😂 

Indoor light for both of these pictures.  Sometimes that’s not the best for these types of photos.  It’s just too cold to be outside !

Interestingly the subway lighting can often be pretty good for watch photos.

That’s a good one. Some ADs need to employ the lighting guy who did the subways. Far more wrist shot friendly.

Yes, the second photo shows the watch much better. Thanks for looking Larry.

Did you see the feature today on Monochrome re: the RG C? Certainly made me think of you this morning.

This was the intent for this watch; a daily lightweight companion. Similar to how I’ve worn my Journe CTS over the years. The RG is a bit more versatile I think. But like the CTS it doesn’t quite work so well once I put a shirt and jacket/blazer on. I’m going to test that further though ! 😂

I’d seen a sneak preview of these watches a little while back. For me, I really like how the bracelet version wears on my wrist. I did not however like the dials up to now. This new open dial is much much better in my opinion. And of course if one had the dollars or Swiss francs for the platinum version on a bracelet RG can facilitate custom dials. Some renderings I have seen, and some real watches I have seen, are really stunning.
