DANIEL ROTH was a storied independent watch brand revered by collectors during its first golden age in the early nineties. The revival of DANIEL ROTH begins with the Tourbillon Souscription, a meticulous homage to the brand\u2019s original tourbillon wristwatch of 1988, a landmark watch that is now being reimagined by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton.<\/p>\n
Limited to 20 pieces, the Tourbillon Souscription is executed in traditional yellow gold, a metal exclusive to this edition, with the case of it being a double ellipse. Formed from a plate of solid yellow gold, the dial is decorated with Clous de Paris guilloche just as the original was.<\/p>\n
The dial is produced in the mountain-top workshop of Kari Voutilainen, one of the leading independent watchmakers of today. Although the dial retains the same markings as on the original, the typography has been streamlined to give it contemporary finesse.<\/p>\n
Under the dial is the in-house manufacture calibre DR001 conceived exclusively for DANIEL ROTH. The DR001 is manufactured entirely by La Fabrique du Temps, the Geneva workshop founded by Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini \u2013 both master watchmakers who will personally oversee the creation of each DANIEL ROTH timepiece.<\/p>\n
The centrepiece of the DR001 is its tourbillon regulator. Devised to capture the singular style of the original, the tourbillon makes one revolution every minute, allowing it to function as a seconds hand. As a result, the tourbillon cage carries a three-armed, heat-blued seconds hand that is read in tandem with a tri-sectioned seconds scale on the dial \u2013 a quirky detail found on all original DANIEL ROTH tourbillon watches. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
