The first Roman Gauthier salon outside of Switzerland has opened, and a special model exclusive to the salon has also been unveiled.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Roman Gauthier, an independent luxury watch brand from Switzerland, has opened a new salon inside the Nisshindo Ginza flagship store in Ginza 7-chome, Tokyo. Spanning two floors, the second and third floors, this space is designed as a private sanctuary that can be called a "second home," offering a relaxing atmosphere with warm hospitality as its top priority, inviting collectors into the world of Roman Gauthier.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The second floor was designed with a living room concept in mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The third floor has a library and dining room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This space serves as a bridge for you to encounter the brand, Romain Gauthier himself, and the things he loves, offering you the opportunity to actually see the watches in an intimate and personal environment, much like the room he himself stays in in the Vall\u00e9e de Joux, Switzerland.
This salon, the second of its kind in the world, is a meticulously designed space that encapsulates Romain Gauthier's worldview, featuring carefully selected objects that reflect his unique aesthetic sense and the "uncompromising spirit" that characterizes his watchmaking.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A special journey through two floors.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Second floor: Living room. This floor is designed for moments of quiet discovery, harmonizing with the natural warmth of the Vall\u00e9e de Joux. At the heart of the floor is a relief map depicting the Vall\u00e9e de Joux, his hometown in Switzerland. The wall, sculpted three-dimensionally with micron-level precision, directly connects Ginza with the mountains of Le Sentier in the Vall\u00e9e de Joux.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The third floor has a calm atmosphere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Third Floor: Library & Furnishings. This floor is an homage to the joy of conversation, the leisurely pace of time, and the shared passion. A large table sits at the center of the room, creating an intimate space where people can sit around it, clink glasses, and discuss watchmaking. Surrounded by the library, this place offers a tranquil haven in the heart of Tokyo.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The purpose of this new salon is to create a space where visitors can truly experience the watchmaking process imbued with Romain Gauthier's passion. From the furniture and objects to the overall atmosphere of the space, every detail reflects Romain's own values, making it a place where people in Japan can gain a deeper understanding of the spirit and story behind each watch.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Salon-exclusive model "C by Romain Gauthier Carbonium Edition"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Additionally, a limited edition model, available exclusively at this special salon, was announced.
Combining sophisticated craftsmanship, lightweight design, and robustness, the C by Romain Gauthier has evolved to an even more high-tech and sporty level with the cutting-edge material Carbonium\u00ae. By using Carbonium\u00ae in the case, crown, and buckle, this distinctive timepiece, powered by a Grade 5 titanium movement, is made even lighter.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The dynamic fibrous pattern of Carbonium\u00ae is expressed not only on the case, but also on the dial and rubber strap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The carbon fibers contained in Carbonium\u00ae are three times harder than titanium, yet half the weight. Therefore, this new C by Romain Gauthier Carbonium Edition weighs just 43g, including the bracelet and buckle. It's no exaggeration to say it feels like a feather on your wrist.<\/p>\n

Beyond its visual appeal, Carbonium\u00ae strongly showcases the technical individuality of C by Romain Gauthier. With its high fiber content and superior rigidity, Carbonium\u00ae achieves a high level of balance between lightness and strength, offering remarkable lightness while possessing exceptional robustness.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Crafted in the Swiss watchmaking tradition of the Vall\u00e9e de Joux, this watch features a traditional finger bridge design reinterpreted for modern times, finished to the highest standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Looking inside the watch, one can see all of Roman Gauthier's expertise in high-end watchmaking in the in-house hand-wound movement: meticulous hand-finishing down to the smallest detail, extremely precise design, and rational structure, all imbued with a bold and avant-garde beauty. Thus, a timepiece has been created that combines tradition with cutting-edge technology, craftsmanship with innovation.<\/p>\n

The indices and numerals can be selected from the basic colors of white, green, blue, yellow, and orange, but other colors can be developed upon special request. The RG logo engraved on the crown surface and pin buckle can be coordinated with the indices and numerals and matched to the strap color.<\/p>\n

This Carbonium Edition is a limited edition model available only at Roman Gauthier salons worldwide, and in Japan, it can only be purchased at the Roman Gauthier GINZA Salon in Ginza, Tokyo.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
