Independents

Greetings. I have had the pleasure of meeting Romain on several occasions and visiting his workplace in Le Sentier.

 

I have admired his product ever since first laying eyes on the pieces.

As an engineer he has created unique watches with totally in house movements that are robust and beautiful at the same time.

More is his finishing. With Philipe Dufour advising him and being a close friend, Romain's watches are finished to the highest degree. I would put his craftmanship and finish work up against anyone and I do mean anyone.

The Logic One USA phenomenal watch. Technologically the chain is there for a constant force. Originally it was supposed to be all rubies but could not work right so now the links are metal and stone. A unique winding system. A magnificent dial that can be in enamel. It is a great watch and I would recommend it wholeheartedly. Oh yeah, it wears great.

What do you think about Romain Gauthier brand and watches?

Hi everyone, Since it has been unveiled in 2013, I fell in love (obsessed would be a better word) of the Romain Gauthier Logical One (2013 GPHG Men's Complications watch prize). Credit: Romain Gauthier website If it could financially possible (and after a...

What a shame, I did not know that the initial chain with rubies does not work properly. It was a wonderful idea for sure. Best wishes Alkiro

Saw it in person

Oh man is this a true grail watch! The winding mechanism is incredible to use, the chain is in full view, the finish is exquisite, and the case is perfectly proportioned. Far from something I could ever afford but I left my AD thinking the retail price wa... 

What a watch !

Mesmerizing, I haven\'t look at this watchmaker before, but I will from now on. The Fusée-chain is implemented in an awesome way.

One of the most desirable independents out there IMHO

Not my hand or arm, BTW. Thanks to Tim Jackson and Romain, of course. Cazalea ...  

A very interesting brand with an excellent level of decoration.

No need to go for a very expensive RG. The " entry level " which is already quite pricey is very satisfactory. A good, serious and very interesting alternative to some " big " names. Best, Nicolas

Agree. This was a more reasonable choice and I loved it

Beautiful Watches

I absolutely love his work but there is an entry level watch that is reasonable considering the finishing and other aspects of the watch. These include the prestige HMS and the prestige HM. Sure his logical one series is absolutely stunning but I find a b... 

Yes these other models are stunning

Several years ago, RG explained me the mechanism of his "back winder" and I was already convinced of their originality for sure.

Pictures of the Logic One. Platinum with enamel dial.

I had been looking at a watch by another manufacture who had a fusee chain as its main feature. A limited edition. When I looked at it in comparison with RG\'s there was no comparison. The finishing of the other watch was pedestrian. At best. The finishin...
