MJ23's original post highlights a distinctive design element from independent watchmaker Romain Gauthier: the 'Yin Yang' screw. This unique screw, a hallmark of Gauthier's movements, is celebrated by collectors for its blend of aesthetic appeal and functional ingenuity. MJ23's observation prompts a deeper appreciation for the subtle innovations that define haute horology.

Is for both aesthetics and functional purposes.

Amazing that an ingenious design with a small change by Romain Gauthier makes such a huge difference

Just mind blowing to examine a screw with such a high degree of finishing and no evidence of tool marks. Perhaps that is part of the functionality of the design?
