Manufacture Royale Androgyne
Manufacture Royale is a young & dynamic luxury watch brand that passionately follows two watch-making traditions – the Swiss and the French. After the successful launch of its unique Opera timepiece in 2010-11, the brand now unveils Androgyne, a contemporary, rare and exclusive timepiece with full of character.
The Androgyne watch features a hand-wound mechanical movement regulated by a tourbillon combining classic and futuristic components to guarantee accuracy over time.
The mission was to create from scratch a timepiece in which all known concepts are pushed to their limits to create the ultimate work of art. With a tourbillion movement made up of 178 components including 17 jewels, and 54 more for the case and buckle, the Androgyne boasts 108 hours of power reserve.
The brand has proposed several variants of the Androgyne watch in stainless steel, DLC/PVD steel and 18 carat gold as well as some dazzling gem-set versions.
The Androgyne Pure Inox watch is made of stainless steel. The models named Pure Glacier, Pure Bronze and Pure Black feature DLC/PVD coated stainless steel case. Bi-color versions are also available. For example, the Androgyne Full Black & Rose gold watch features black DLC coated stainless steel case and rose gold screws.
In the 18 carat gold segment, Manufacture Royale offers rose gold, white gold and yellow gold Androgyne watches.
The brand also presents attractive Gem set versions in stainless steel and rose gold. Depending upon the model, the watch case is adorned with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, black diamonds or tsavorites.
The case measures 42mm diameter. It is further secured with a sapphire crystal front glass and a screwed case back with transparent sapphire crystal glass.
Unveiled at Baselworld 2012, the Androgyne watch houses a manual-winding mechanical movement produced, decorated and entirely assembled within the Manufacture according to highest Haute Horlogerie standards.
