Introducing the C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition Five, featuring an entirely hand-engraved textured dial. A limited edition that further highlights the hand-crafted decorative expertise of Manufacture Romain Gauthier.

The dial of the C by Romain Gauthier, a symbol of modernity and continuity both in terms of architecture and design, features off-center hour-minute hands and slightly tapered hour markers of varying lengths. The 5-second intervals of the small seconds at 7 o’clock are also marked by tapering lines of differing lengths.

Romain has endowed C with a stop-seconds – or hacking seconds – mechanism, allowing the wearer to set the time exactly according to a reference time.

Instead of using a straight or L-shaped balance stop lever to halt the balance, Romain has opted to employ a snail cam that performs a double function: It touches and stops the balance wheel when the crown is pulled out and, when the crown is pushed back in, the snail cam makes a turn, giving the balance an impulse to help it start beating again.  Those familiar with the brand will know Romain has used the snail cam’s unique shape in his past creations: It appears on the watchmaker’s acclaimed Logical One.

C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition Five is a 38-piece limited edition, engraved “1 of 38” on the back of each movement.
