Limited Editions of 10 Pieces Each
Romain Gauthier's first ladies' watch is for those women who want their timepieces blessed with more than just a pretty face.
"With Insight Micro-Rotor Lady, I wanted to create something that is feminine, but which avoids clichés of femininity, and something that is technical but where the showpiece complication provides a simplicity of use," says Gauthier. "A few turns of the crown get the movement going, you set the time, put the watch on and let the micro-rotor do its work. You can then just enjoy it as an elegant and reliable daily companion."
"Increasingly, female collectors are looking to own truly exceptional mechanical timepieces," says Gauthier. "While aesthetics still play a role, these women want the real deal in terms of innovative mechanisms and fine hand-finishing. Insight Micro-Rotor Lady offers this combination of style and substance."
