Legacy Royter Series Nova Edition

 




The ROYTER Nova is one of those watches where you can tell a crazy amount of time went into the details. The burgundy dial is the main attraction for me. It’s hand engraved, heavily lacquered, and has a lot of texture and depth without looking overdone. The case size also looks spot on at 39.3mm and super thin overall.


The movement is new too, called the BNR-01, developed with Andreas Strehler. A lot of collectors are probably going to focus on the finishing here because there’s hand work everywhere — polished screws, frosted bridges, engraved plates, sharp bevels, all the good stuff.


What I like most is that it still feels personal. It doesn’t come across like a big luxury launch. More like one watchmaker obsessing over every little detail and building exactly what he wanted to make. At 12 pieces a year, most people will probably never see one in person.
