What to know

Romain Gauthier’s distinctive C collection receives a more compact treatment for 2026. The C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition 39.5 retains its geometric titanium bezel, architectural lugs and understated off-centre small-seconds display while reducing the case to a wrist-friendlier 39.5mm.

Three accent colours—pink, blue and orange—give the watch a playful touch without diluting its precise design language. This version pairs fine pink-toned details with a cool grey dial and white interchangeable rubber strap. The new strap system aims to make the independently crafted watch practical for regular wear, not just collecting.

Behind the restrained face is a hand-wound manufacture movement with carefully finished Grade 5 titanium bridges, inspired by traditional Vallée de Joux construction. This is the sporting side of haute horlogerie, where finishing quality and subtle geometry matter more than complications.
