Insight Micro-Rotor | Titanium
One of just 10 examples, this limited edition Insight Micro-Rotor is an excellent example of independent watchmaking, with a striking monochrome colour palette. It is also one of a few cased in natural titanium. This Insight Micro-Rotor represents Romain Gauthier's industrial yet traditional aesthetic, with an open-worked dial that reveals the rotor on both sides of the case.
This Insight Micro-Rotor is one of few limited edition pieces made with natural titanium. Produced between 2018 - 2022, the introduction of the Insight series made this the third model from Romain Gauthier, further showcasing the maker's penchant for combining industrial styles with traditional watchmaking. Only thirty pieces were originally produced across the series, divided evenly between white, black frosted, and blue enamel dials.
The core of the Insight Micro-Rotor is the movement, visible through the openworked dial. From a technical perspective, the movement is self-winding, featuring a micro-rotor visible from both sides. Pivoted on both the dial and the back, the precious metal micro-rotor winds twin mainsprings. Both barrels can be seen on the left side of the movement from the back, providing 80 hours of power reserve altogether.
The calibre consists of 206 individual components, with numerous hand-applied finishing techniques used throughout, as well as frosting, snailing, graining and polished bevels on the bridges and countersinks. The gears and ratchet wheels have circular spokes, while the screws have S-shaped heads, both a signature of Romain Gauthier's work.
The black grand feu enamel dial shows the time display in a vertical line, with the hours and minutes at 12 o’clock and seconds just below. Both sub-dials are covered in fired vitreous enamel, with dagger-shaped hands filled with lume for the hours and minutes. Romain Gauthier’s distinctive balance wheel is shown at 6 o’clock, with curved arms and calibrated eccentric weights, flanked by the maker’s initials. Meanwhile, the titanium case measures 39.5mm across and just 12.9mm thick, is made out of natural, untreated titanium. The crown for winding manually and setting the time is at 2 o’clock, to allow space for wrist movement.
