For the first time in the 15-year lifespan of the Romain Gauthier watch brand, master watchmaker Romain Gauthier opts to skeletonize his already complex and much-coveted Micro-Rotor movement. By stripping away the majority of the metal of the 206-part automatic caliber, the watch - which offers off-center hours, minutes and small seconds - is transformed into a contemporary and alluring skeleton timepiece. Gauthier opted to create the ultra-light bridges and mainplate of natural titanium. For the making of each movement, at least 250 hours of fine craftsmanship are devoted to the hand finishing - beveling, polishing and more - of the main components. As if this version is not enough, Romain Gauthier is offering customizable options with di!erent case materials and more.

As an independent company, Romain Gauthier's self-reliance is how it is able to constantly remain inventive and retain autonomy over its creative vision. Marrying the steadfast Swiss traditions of Vallée de Joux with his own distinctive designs, the company's eponymous founder chartered an eye-catching and sophisticated pathway which has remained key to its success. Whether approaching a caseback winding crow, a constant-force mechanism or bidirectional micro-rotor, Romain Gauthier's attitude remains meticulous.Paying homage to the brand's hometown, the Heritage collection flaunts exceptionally finished and intricately engineered timepieces crafted from gold and platinum. The Freedom collection is similarly technical, with daring designs that reflect the unapologetically liberal attitude of Romain Gauthier and the wearer. The Exception line also boasts artistic prowess with designs that are diamond bedazzled, micro-engraved and have intricate micro-marquetry tiles in tribute to Gauthier's Rio de Janeiro-born wife.
