When Romain Gauthier presented his Logical One at Baselworld 2013, I wasn’t the only one impressed: later that same year Logical One was awarded the prestigious prize for best Men’s Complication at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.

It’s worth having another look at just what makes this watch so very special.
Here are a few key features:
- Constant force by quadruple patent-pending chain-and-snail-cam mechanism
- Robust high-precision chain with low-friction ruby links for constant force mechanism
- Ergonomic push winding (not done via crown)
A close look at the dial side of a platinum Romain Gauthier Logical One; note the chain attaching to the snail cam, polished constant force bridge and the elegant, gossamer-thin arms of the balance wheel
- 60-hour power reserve
- Mainspring barrel fitted with low-friction sapphire plates (again, provides more constant force)
- Gear train (and indications) in straight line to maximize efficiency of power transmission
- In-house manufacture movement designed, manufactured, assembled and regulated in the Romain Gauthier workshops
- Triangular pallet lever in the escapement for improved rigidity, another Romain Gauthier invention
