Romain Gauthier Prestige
As I knew, and still know, almost nothing about this brand (I have never been particularly attracted so far), I decided to have a closer look.
And I find these Prestige models interesting. I really like the face of the HM (I like a little less the HMS because it's open worked). And the level of finishing of the movement is quite stunning: the sharp angles on the upper bridge are the sharpest and deepest I've seen.
But the architecture of the caliber and the crown on the back (or back winder) gives me mixed feelings.
Best to you all.

My favorite among those I could find on his website.
But I know very little about this brand.
I own two RGs and have an order of a third
Romain is one of the best out there hands down as a person and as a brand And the finishing is top tier on all his lines ...
The finishing on your open work piece is mind blowing, that's for sure.
Thanks for sharing these photos. Hopefully, I'll see one in real life someday.
Thanks for educating me here.
I didn’t know at all. So, I’ve had a closer look (as it didn’t pique my interest in the first place) and, predictably and unfortunately, I’m not fond of the design (not attracted to open work dials and the industrial aesthetic of the back is really not fo...
Great in its own right, thanks for the photo,
but definitely not for me. It leaves me cold, unfortunately.
I keep in mind that I could feel very differently in real life.
I’ve watched a couple of videos and I’m really impressed. My mind and my eyes can see how great it is, but I guess my heart is just attracted elsewhere (at least when looking at photos or videos). Reason why I’ve never paid much attention to brands like R...
Oh Mon Ami wait just wait
Some mind blowing things coming from the maison one in particular is a game changer
So charming...
Brilliant design style. I think the designers must be happy that you found these two treasures, that's cool!
The HM imo is truly amazing.
While the LogicalOne is in my top 3 watches of all time, the HM is exquisite as a time only watch. The design of Romain’s first watch, is off the charts in terms of engineering. He chose solutions to traditional aspects of watchmaking that he thought coul...
Thank you, Tim, for your insight and detailed explanation
of the reasons of some of the design choices made by RG. It indeed makes these pieces even more attractive. I have yet to see one of these watches in real life someday. Best wishes for the new year! Cheers, Emmanuel
Happy to share here! Romain and his team do brilliant work!
They are a treat to handle! Cheers, Tim
