L’ATELIER DU ROI
✤
The Foundation of Royal Design
Chapter II
The Fascination of Versailles
Inspired by the royal gardens of France – every line is created for absolute balance, symmetry and visual presence.
CHAPTER III
The Chosen Shade
The baroque arabesque motifs of Versailles extend into the solid link bracelet. The seamless transition from case to bracelet and the striking interplay of matte brushed and high-polished flanks give the watch its sculptural identity.
Chapter IV
The Final Touch
Every detail finds its exact place in the finished watch – a design that is unmistakably LOUIS XVI.
Dial Note 01
The King’s Obsession
Long before LOUIS XVI appeared as a name on the dial, it all began with a fascination for time itself. Inspired by the ateliers of Versailles and refined by Swiss precision, every detail is deliberately placed – from the baroque relief texture beneath the hands to the final polished marker.
Dial Note 02
The Language of Detail
Up close, the dial begins to reveal its true character. The texture, the markers, the chronograph totalisers and the polished accents are arranged to create remarkable visual depth. A quiet expression of royal precision that captures the light and refracts it perfectly at every angle.
Dial Note 03
A Face with Presence
When all elements interlock perfectly, the result is far more than a watch: a striking total work of art. Borne by uncompromising Swiss watchmaking, the discipline of royal design and the unmistakable identity of LOUIS XVI.
The Crown That Survived
THE LEGACY OF 1793
In 1793, almost every crown in France fell – all but one; this will to survive shapes the engraved 43mm case of the Palais Royale 2.0, crafted from 316L stainless steel. Its surface, with deeply embossed baroque relief engravings, lends the watch a sculptural, richly detailed and regal presence. With a screw-down security crown, sapphire crystal and 10 ATM water resistance, the case protects the Swiss calibre like a hermetic fortress.
Calibre 5030.D
The Swiss Pulse
✦
Chapter I
The Golden Foundation (Construction)
Behind the solid steel caseback of the Palais Royale 2.0 operates the exclusive Swiss Made version of the Ronda 5030.D STARTECH calibre. Unlike conventional quartz movements, this movement is built as a durable, fully repairable all-metal construction.
Chapter II
The Chronograph Function (Complications)
A look at the movement reveals an extremely slim height of just 4.40 mm, achieved despite the complex chronograph mechanism. Via precise lever-controlled switching, the calibre drives the three totalisers on the dial: a small seconds, a 30-minute counter and a 12-hour counter. The mechanical transmission of the pushers enables not only the classic start-stop protocol but also professional ADD and SPLIT functions. This makes it effortless to measure cumulative times as well as exact split times, while the movement relentlessly keeps running in the background.
Chapter III
The Energy Protocol (Efficiency)
The Swiss calibre 5030.D runs fully autonomously for a period of 54 months. That means four and a half years of uninterrupted reliability on the wrist – regulated to a maximum deviation of just 6 seconds per year.
The Six Seals of Excellence
Six fundamental hallmarks of uncompromising quality, precision and the unshakeable integrity of every LOUIS XVI timepiece.
01
Swiss Integrity
The incorruptible seal of haute horlogerie. Every calibre is manufactured, assembled and calibrated in accordance with the strictest legal requirements of the Swiss Confederation.
02
10 ATM Sovereignty
While conventional dress chronographs capitulate at 50 metres, this architecture offers tested water resistance to 100 metres. Fully designed for swimming, bathing and uncompromising everyday wear.
03
Screw-down Security Crown
A premium construction reserved for high-performance watchmaking. The hermetically sealed crown sits flush with the case and completely isolates the movement from dust, moisture and ambient pressure.
04
Mohs Hardness 9
After diamond, sapphire crystal is the second-hardest transparent material on Earth. Virtually indestructible, it remains completely scratch-resistant and immune to abrasive contact with keys, coins and time itself.
05
Limited Edition
Strictly limited to exactly 1,000 pieces worldwide. Each watch stands as a documented one-of-a-kind piece, permanently authenticated by an individual warranty card and a deeply stamped serial number on the caseback.
06
5-Year Warranty
An unwavering statement of confidence in Swiss watchmaking and structural discipline. We guarantee the flawless mechanical function of the calibre for half a decade – a premium promise that goes far beyond the industry standard.
