Ladoire

I had the pleasure to meet Joanna at the booth of Ladoire at the GTE.  These are unique and exceptional looking timepieces, I do not recall any other watchmaker making anything similar.  The finishing appears to be very high level, and last but not least, there is something about these watches that makes you turn your head.

Joanna gave me a very nice USB kind of card the size of a creditcard, just abit thicker which contains a lot of pictures and descriptions.  It would be too much to show all pictures, but I am just presenting two watches, the Black Widow Mr. Race and the Red Gold RGT.

Ladoire features inhouse movements, developed, designed and built inhouse.
The case is rather large of this limited edition of 12 pieces: 50.84mm.

The Microrotor is quite impressive.  An interesting feature that you do not see very often aside from Patek Philippe watches.

From the pressrelease:
Endowed with an extraordinarily complex display mode and unusual
dimensions, the innovative concept of the H M S Planetary® complication
is duly protected by a patent.
The entirely offset Hour, Minute and Seconds indications of this Regulatortype
model are displayed by three cages mounted on ceramic micro ball
bearings. The RGT also features a GMT function with a central hand that
can be rapidly adjusted via a dedicated corrector push-button at 2 o’clock.

The asymetric case possesses an interesting integration of the strap.
