Romain Gauthier, in its latest timepiece the Prestige HMS Stainless Steel, has featured a stunning dial created from rare Henbury meteorite.Based in the Vallee de Joux, Switzerland, and founded in 2005, Romain Gauthier is renowned for its high end watches created by skilled craftsmen using the best watchmaking tools. The company has also invested in cutting-edge production methods and is able to produce in house all movements used in the brand’s timepieces. This savoir-faire is reflected in the latest timepiece on offer from the company, the Prestige HMS Stainless Steel, in which the HMS represents hours, minutes and seconds.The exceptional feature of the watch is the meteorite dial which is created from an octahedrite discovered in 1931 at the Henbury crater field located in Australia. The Henbury meteorite comes with nickel-iron crystal bands that shimmer when the watch is turned or moved. A meteorite disc with a diameter of 33mm and thickness of 0.8mm is used in the creation of each watch and anti-corrosion treatment ensures that its appearance does not deteriorate.Powering the watch is the Calibre 2206 HMS which was developed in-house, and which is fully visible through the caseback where a large-diameter ‘flat’ crown for winding is also present. On the dial, hours and minutes are shown on the subdial at 12 o’clock, and small seconds are visible at 5 o’clock allowing for easy reading of time. With a power reserve of 60 hours and water resistance of up to 10m under water, the watch is built to withstand the rigors of daily wear and is hand finished as per the highest haute horlogerie standards. The Prestige HMS Stainless Steel is being made available in a limited edition run of 10 pieces.Click on the slideshow to check the timepiece.http://www.blouinartinfo.comFounder: Louise Blouin Read more
