An exquisite new release from LVMH Watch Week with an even thinner mechanism than previous ultra-thin models by Daniel Roth.
At the LVMH Watch Week in Milan, Daniel Roth unveiled an ultra-thin skeleton watch. This is not just a skeletonized version of one of the brand's previous models, but a separate model created according to all the canons of high watchmaking art.
The case of the new model features a classic double ellipse design. It is made of polished rose gold and measures 38.6 x 35.5 x 6.9 mm. This is 0.8 mm thinner than full-sized models. Flat sapphire crystals are set on both sides of the case. Water resistance is 30 meters.
From the classic elements of the dial, only the set of blued steel hands is retained. The rest is an open view of the movement (caliber DR002SR), which is a skeletonized version of the movement used in regular two-hand Daniel Roth watches.
The movement, developed and assembled within the walls of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, is manually wound and, with a balance frequency of 4 Hz, has a 65-hour power reserve. The movement is composed of 141 parts, including 21 jewels, and its thickness does not exceed 3.1 mm. The highlight of this "filling" is that the platinum and bridges of the movement are made of rose gold.
The watch is offered on a beige calfskin strap. Although the new model is released as part of the permanent collection, production will be limited. The approximate cost of the model is CHF 85,000.
