ImranLondon introduces the Legacy Royter Series Nova Edition, a watch that exemplifies meticulous craftsmanship and a deeply personal approach to horology. This post highlights the watch's stunning hand-engraved burgundy dial and the collaborative movement development with Andreas Strehler, inviting readers to appreciate its intricate details and limited production.
The ROYTER Nova is one of those watches where you can tell a crazy amount of time went into the details. The burgundy dial is the main attraction for me. It’s hand engraved, heavily lacquered, and has a lot of texture and depth without looking overdone. The case size also looks spot on at 39.3mm and super thin overall.
The movement is new too, called the BNR-01, developed with Andreas Strehler. A lot of collectors are probably going to focus on the finishing here because there’s hand work everywhere — polished screws, frosted bridges, engraved plates, sharp bevels, all the good stuff.
What I like most is that it still feels personal. It doesn’t come across like a big luxury launch. More like one watchmaker obsessing over every little detail and building exactly what he wanted to make. At 12 pieces a year, most people will probably never see one in person.
What is the Watchmakers name and how did he start watchmaking?
You can see how much time and hand-word was involved in the dial and movement. Great to see American horology continue to grow.
