Little question
To start: I really love this watch. The finishing is just superb (to me, one of the best on the market today). I just want to ask one little thing regarding the second diagram (the one of the Logical One).
My impression is that there are big variations in the amplitudes (they go up and down) while the rates seem to be ok/very constant. This does quite astonish me. I always thought that constant/high amplitudes were necessary for good rates. Can someone explain this paradox to me? Thanks
Romain Gauthier - Logical One
Romain Gauthier - the Logical One Logical One ? The first of a series of Logicals? The one that is logical? Whatever the definition, Romain Gauthier's Logical One is a logical step forward to achieving better chronometric results from a wristwatch (as wel...
Unbelievable!
Thanks for sharing Don! Amazing watch! It's by far Romain's best watch!
Beatiful pics, nice write-up!
Thanks Don. Definitely one of the most impressive and desirable watches around today, by one of the nicest and down-to-earth guys in the game. Cheers
LOVE this watch
Thanks for the great report, Don! Saw this piece in person and it was just as good as the photos. Mouth watering! Best, Gary
Don, thanks for the report. It would be good for everyone to have..
the same availablity of data on chronometry as Romain will make available. Since there are other constant force escapements, will they be equivalent to his? What about dead beat seconds movements?
That is a really interesting and goodlooking watch
Interesting way he has constructed the chain. I suppose its to prevent the wear on the joints? The finish looks impeccable. It seems he is moving away from the more classical, traditional finish toward a more modern type that seems to suit his very techni...
Wow... very, very nice...
... couldn't wait to hear more detail and spec and see in person, if at all possible.... Thanks for the report, Don! Ken
Fantastic watch..
had the chance to see it live in Geneva,Romain finish is second to none..... Thanks Don for the presentation,great job. Mo
Absolutely stunning piece.
Congrats to the watchmaker/s behind it. Thanks for the review. Vte :)
Quite something
Must be a lot of strain on those ruby links, any more details on that Don, Very interesting piece Tim
What a beauty!
The chain reminds me of the Opus 9. A novel winding system? Thanks for the presentation Don. cheers fernando
A question on measuring and publishing information
Thank you, Don, for sharing really interesting information and beautiful pictures on a stunning watch. I have a question for you. You have written you wish other watchmakers will publish their results on the timekeeping efficiency measurement, like Romain...
This is so beautiful.
Yet using all of what already exists, this is one watch which has transalated so much of tech into art. Certainly a MUST BUY if budget allows!!!!
Thank you Don, very nice review, beautiful pics....
really appreciate this High Caliber of Horology, the fantastic imagination and the serious integrity. The finish has a Philippe Dufour flavour, admirable! Cheers. Francois
That's some fine engineering...
...and beautiful too. It appears to have that perfect balance of novelty with traditional design. I also appreciate Mr. Gauthier's sharing of technical performance data. A fine watch should keep time well, in my opinion. Regards, Jon
I know I should love this watch
but each time I look at it (albeit in pictures only) I see novelty first. the chain feels like SUCH a gimmick, and I know it has deeply traditional and terribly serious functionality, but... I dunno!
That's fair.
There are certainly watches that other people love that leave me cold. As independent watchmakers tend to target narrower audiences with more specific tastes, it'll happen more with them; I would suppose. On the plus side, the independents don't hire offp...

The take-away here is...
The take-away here is that even with these low amplitudes the power is constant so the timing remains good. These tests were made on the very first prototype watch. For example the axles where not burnished and there are still many corrections to be made....
thanks for the answer...
Thanks for the answer, Don. I was actually not wondering about the fact that the amplitudes might be a bite low but about the variations (up/down- up/down) of the amplitudes and the fact that this does not seem to affect the rate. Anyway, this watch is am...
