Not workers in overalls, of course, but the guts of a watch; the parts that literally make it tick Independent watchmaker Romain Gauthier has created an updated version of his Insight Micro-Rotor - the first automatic watch he produced in 2017 - which is aimed squarely at the women's market Also putting the hardware front and centre is Audemars Piguet with its first-ever Royal Oak concept watch for women - albeit women of exceptional means.
Introduced in 2002, the Royal Oak Concept watches have debuted experimental technologies such as the Supersonnerie, a minute repeater with the gongs attached to a copper alloy resonance membrane placed between the plate and the case back There are diamonds, 468 of them to be precise, but this is the first flying tourbillon produced by Audemars Piguet, and that it has been placed in a woman's watch shows that the brand is moving towards producing technologically advanced timepieces directed toward women A rhodium-plated gold shooting star serves to indicate the time and, if you turn the watch over, you'll see the turquoise-and-diamond rotor and two apertures showing the date, month and year, as well as a colour code for the planets.
