Description

Romain Gauthier is, without doubt, one of the top watchmakers when it comes to decoration –

The Prestige HM was the result of years of after-hours work from Romain Gauthier, finally launching in 2007 as the foundation for his fledging independent watch brand.

The movement in the Prestige HM is really something special. If you've never seen one of Gauthier's movements up close.

The display of the HMS is, as its name indicates, based on the indications of the hours, minutes and seconds – all of them slightly off-centred to give the watch a controlled eccentricity. Tracks and markers are painted in white directly on the meteorite plate, while applied triangles mark the hours

The engineering is top-notch, but it's the combination of next-level finishing and the unique styling that sets them apart.

The bridges of the Prestige HM's caliber 2206 HM have these dramatic swooping forms, but the curves are offset by precise edges and sharp points. The highly polished bevels and exacting internal angles frame the frosting found on the tops of the bridges and plates, and the bright red jewels and mirror polished screws add little punctuation marks throughout.
