The Louis XVI watch company is just over ten years old. As can be seen from the name of the brand, it is dedicated to the French King Louis XVI, who was known as an avid watch lover. In addition, the watchmaker of the king was a man-legend of the watch world - Abraham-Louis Breguet himself. I think this name is familiar even to those with a watch on “You”.
Breguet has become a heavyweight in the luxury watch segment. But today we will not talk about these Swiss watches. swiss made inscription is not only a sign of success, but also of high quality. It is she who flaunts on the Louis XVI watch.
Case: the main argument, integration with the bracelet
Unusual case - this is how the Le-Monarque model is characterized. Well, the watch fully justifies the name. Monarchs deserve only the best and not like everyone else.
There is such a term "clock customization". Simply put, this is making changes to the appearance of watches to make them different from serial models. The occupation is interesting and sometimes not the most budgetary. However, like a watch that is subject to customization. Engraving will just be one of the elements of changing the appearance. As an example, the notorious Rolex owners engrave. But this is not an inscription on the back cover, but an engraving of the case and bracelet from the visible sides.
Louis XVI decided to follow the same path and release a limited edition, which is distinguished by the presence of intricate designs on the case and its continuation - the bracelet and even the bezel. In my opinion, the result and wow-effect exceeded all expectations.
In addition to the painted case, the owner receives additional protection against scratches. After all, on such a surface, traces of socks will not be so noticeable.
The case is medium in size, even slightly above average. In addition to engraving, it (the case) has another engineering solution: the bracelet, which is adjacent to the case, is integrated. That is, it is a continuation of the latter, forming a single whole. The fashion for integration was born about fifty years ago, remaining popular to this day.
Dial: royal chic
The decoration of the dial is made in the royal style. Between the hour markers are ten diamonds weighing 0,005 carats. Why are the diamonds not in the marks? Most likely, this is the style and hallmark of the manufacturer.
Since the watch is equipped with a chronograph function, its counters (minute and hour) are present on the dial, plus the main second hand. All these additional windows with a white welt. On the black background of the dial, nothing is lost. How not to lose the date. Her window is in the area of the label "4". The background is black, the lettering is white. Looks good!
The readability of the time indications is the same as on the chronograph counters - excellent.
Mechanism: reliable swiss made
Ronda 5030 d is a reliable and unpretentious caliber, like all of its brothers from the Ronda family. He comes from Switzerland, and that says a lot.
Louis XVI Le-Monarque watches are refined, with their own flair, and at the same time have all the hallmarks of a reliable watch, which they really are.
