BaselWorld 2014 - Romain Gauthier

 

BaselWorld 2014 - Romain Gauthier

Romain Gauthier's Logical One is stunning both for its new approach to a constant force mechanism and for its level of finishing.  Using traditional elements, but transforming them for use in a modern wrist watch Romain Gauthier has created a flat chain-and-fusee style constant force mechanism.

The Logical One Secret watch adds a cover to the watch which leaves the small dial freem but covers the rest of the mechanism.  This provides a large surface that can and will be decorated by many different techiques in the future.  The first piece of this exclusive series is decorated with invisibly set diamonds.  Those who have been paying attention will notice that this is not the first time I speak of invisibly set diamonds this year and while standard diamonds can't really get my attention, invisible setting is another story.  This watch is magnificent.  The decorative cover opens with a light touch of a small button to show the top notch decoration of the movement dial side.
