SwissPrimeBrands and Romain Gauthier held Anglage (Hand-Finishing) Demonstrations and Masterclasses at the Authorized Retailers Kamine in Kobe and Takashimaya Nihombashi in Tokyo from September 13-16.
Kamine Event
At the Kamine event, Romain personally presented his timepieces, celebrated for their innovative design and craftsmanship. Sylvie, the head of the anglage workshop, conducted a special masterclass on anglage, the hand-finishing technique that defines the beauty of the movement parts in Romain Gauthier’s watches. Attendees had the opportunity to witness Sylvie’s expertise as she demonstrated the delicate process of beveling and polishing the edges of components, a crucial step in creating an artistic timepiece. Collectors then had the chance to try their hand at polishing a movement bridge.
