C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition Bracelet
Swiss watchmaking maison Romain Gauthier once again pushes the boundaries of innovation with the C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Bracelet edition, now available with two distinctive black dials. Blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, this timepiece asserts itself as a must-have benchmark in modern watchmaking, not least thanks to the use of titanium—a material prized for its exceptional qualities. Indeed, these titanium watches appeal to lovers of sport and elegance alike for their lightness and robustness.
Two dials, two visions of the same perfection
The model comes in two remarkable versions:
- Black titanium dial with a three-dimensional grained finish: Crafted in Grade 5 titanium, this dial features a unique horizontal texture that gives the watch real character. The striking contrast between the dark base and the white details enhances legibility—even in low light—thanks to the indices and hands coated with Super-LumiNova.
- Black openworked sapphire dial: This version reveals the movement’s complex mechanics through a partial sapphire opening. The openworked design spotlights the internal components, notably the seconds wheel and the escapement, while creating a subtle interplay between transparency and structure. Every detail, right down to the finishing of the hand-engraved bridges, attests to an exceptional level of artisanal craftsmanship.
These two dials reflect a perfect harmony between modernity and tradition, while offering a new visual depth.
Total integration: the titanium bracelet
One of the defining features of this edition is its bracelet made entirely from Grade 5 titanium. Light, strong and ergonomic, it integrates seamlessly with the case to form an organic whole. As Romain Gauthier explains: “The bracelet is the case, and the case is the bracelet”.
Each bracelet link features contrasting finishes, combining satin-brushed surfaces with hand-polished elements for an exceptional visual result. Thanks to its integrated folding clasp, the bracelet remains slim and comfortable, adapting to all wrist sizes.
A sculptural, bold design
The 41 mm case in Grade 5 titanium keeps a restrained thickness of 9.55 mm, delivering sporty elegance and optimal comfort. The faceted, satin-finished bezel features six polished planes that catch the light, while the slightly curved lugs naturally hug the wrist.
The integration of the anti-reflective sapphire crystal enhances legibility and elevates the dial’s details. On the back, a transparent caseback reveals the in-house movement and its spectacular finishing.
A movement signed Romain Gauthier
At the heart of the watch beats a manual-winding movement developed entirely in-house. With its modern, pared-back architecture, this calibre highlights titanium bridges finished by hand, echoing the satin-brushed surfaces and distinctive shot-blasted textures.
The watch features an ingenious hacking seconds mechanism based on a snail cam. When setting the time, the cam stops the balance and, once the crown is pushed back in, it delivers an impulse to restart the balance instantly. This technical detail illustrates the manufacture’s innovative know-how.
The movement offers a 60-hour power reserve and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Its titanium and treated rhodium components reveal a perfect balance between modernity and tradition.
A piece for haute horlogerie connoisseurs
Weighing just 85 grams with its titanium bracelet, the C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition Bracelet positions itself as a watch that is both lightweight and sophisticated. The model is offered at a price of:
- €45,150 for the black grained titanium dial version
