Manufacture Royale ADN Spirit – The evolution continues
Artisan of tomorrow – The world of Manufacture Royale is defined by a particular and authentic kind of luxury. The source of its singularity is its ability to draw inspiration from the great watchmaking tradition and transform it into an original expression. The brand’s legacy is rooted in the future, which is the source of inspiration for its limitless creativity. The evolution continues, and a different interpretation of watchmaking emerges through it.
The ADN Spirit collection is the expression of the Manufacture Royale identity. The aesthetics is structured around a three-dimensional architecture of sculptural forms. The characteristic style of the Opera et Androgyne collections is accentuated. It affirms its difference and power in a new expression.
Sculpting time – With a diameter of 46 mm, the ADN Spirit case stands out with tubular shafts enclosing a round middle part. Movable lugs at a 23° angle ensure optimal wearer comfort, even for those with small wrists. The screws, another distinctive element of the Manufacture Royale design, underline the technical nature of the case. They hold the bezel in place while marking the hours. This construction is magnified by the use of classic or innovative materials: steel or steel-DLC and forged carbon.
The mechanical architecture of the case gives all its power to the skeleton movement suspended between two sapphire crystals. Futuristic and technical, the aerial and symmetrical structure of the caliber MR010 is enhanced by the play of light, volume and colors. To maximize the impression of depth, the R&D team designed three-dimensional bridges, whose lines of force create a perfect balance. Their manufacturing process requires a great deal of expertise and the use of 5-axis machines, which are the only ones capable of producing such complex shapes and angles. The barrel at noon and the balance wheel at 6 o’clock are held in an arc between the bridges. The gear train is transparent, making the flow of time visible.
In keeping with the canons of fine watchmaking, movement is the subject of high-end finishes. The bridges are treated with CVD; a fine deposit of a transparent metal oxide makes it possible to obtain distinct colors of unique depth. The barrel is built in such a way as to reveal its spring. The hour numerals are shown at noon and 6 o’clock on two neoralite decorations by embossed luminescent markers. The final touch is provided by syringe-type hands, which are also hollowed out at their center.
On the technical side, the hand-wound mechanical caliber MR010 indicates the hours, minutes and seconds on a subsidiary counter at 9 o’clock. Its variable-inertia balance wheel oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and its power reserve is 48 hours.
The model is available in different versions combining traditional and high-tech materials: anthracite or blue steel case and CVD movement finishing. Black forged carbon and steel-DLC case and CVD movement finishing with red markers and hands.
The Manufacture Royale ADN Spirit watch is worn on an alligator strap or a perfectly waterproof Néburtec strap. A folding steel clasp ensures wearer comfort and safety.
