Our first visit after we all arrived was Romain Gauthier .
I most admit that i didnt know that much about the brand .
i have seen some watches at Basel etc but once i have seen the workshop and talked to the man himself ( such a passion and knowledge he has got ) i was real impressed about him and his brand .

After a tour around his workshop it was time to see the watches

We ended the day with a great dinner where mr Romain Gauthier suprised us with a special Bottle of wine

Now that i am back home i can only think of how i can add a RG to my collection in the near future
