The Dial Is the Essence – Romain Gauthier Insight Micro-Rotor
In the Insight Micro-Rotor, Romain Gauthier brings the mechanical drama to the front. The minimalist dial reveals the true star of the show: a golden-hued movement base, crowned by sculptural platinum bridges. Framing it all is a refined white gold case that balances innovation with sophistication.
At 9 o’clock, a gold micro-rotor comes into view—visible from both front and back—as it spins effortlessly between ruby bearings. Ingeniously engineered, it winds the mainspring regardless of rotation direction, delivering up to 80 hours of power reserve.
Centered on the dial is a small seconds sub-dial, with hour and minute indicators above, set against a deep black background with elegant Roman numerals. At 6 o’clock, the escapement is fully exposed, while polished screws anchor the oversized bridges—giving the piece an industrial, almost steampunk edge.
Limited to just 10 pieces worldwide.
