An expression of elegance and technical mastery, rendered in platinum
Calibre DR002
A NOBLE METAL WITH AN UNMISTAKABLE PRESENCE
Platinum brings a distinct presence to the wrist while preserving the purity of the design.
Significantly denser than gold, platinum is considered more difficult to work with, placing greater strain on tools and requiring exacting craftsmanship, often taking up to three times as long as gold.
Its natural weight and understated silhouette on the wrist lend the double-ellipse case a sense of subtle permanence, reinforcing its proportions while preserving the restraint and balance that define the watch.
REVEALING THE MECHANICS OF TRADITION AND PRECISION, DEVELOPED ENTIRELY IN-HOUSE
The Calibre DR002 is designed according to Mr. Roth’s principle of clarity and proportion, with every component positioned for function and visual balance.
Haute horlogerie finishes such as "Côtes de Genève", "perlage", and rounded "bercé" internal angles are applied throughout the movement, each demanding exceptional precision and time to execute.
Each bridge and angle is finished by hand using traditional "cabron" tools, ensuring a level of refinement unachievable through automated processes.
TIMELESS GUILLOCHÉ EN LIGNE EXECUTED BY HAND
The dial is crafted from solid gold with an anthracite finish and is adorned by a complementary gold minute disc with a "filet sauté" border. At the centre, the guilloché "en ligne" motif is hand-engraved using an antique rose engine.
The downward-curving lugs are shaped to follow the natural line of the wrist, ensuring a close fit. Their profile extends the case's geometry while stabilising the watch when worn, allowing it to sit low and evenly. Paired with a light-tan leather strap, the construction creates both comfort and a subtle contrast.
