Ladoire - ROLLER GUARDIAN TIME (RGT)
Through his first creation, Lionel Ladoire has already marked his difference. To conceive the RGT, its creator decided to surround himself with the best partners. This is not an unusual fact in the luxury industry. However Lionel Ladoire decided to go further. True to his rebellious and forerunner spirit, the young talent did not hesitate to personally appoint the whole of the companies, mostly independent, which all accepted to collaborate in this project.
A project stamped with extreme challenges. A rare fact for a first watch creation, the GMT «Roller Guardian Time» is equipped with its own caliber manufactured by LADOIRE, baptized Calvet/01/RGT. This automatic movement with micro-rotor bears the landmark of the «motorist» (ASXP) and of the «preparator» (SR Watch Makers).
The concept of this timepiece's complication is revolutionary: entirely set on micro ball bearings, «Roller Guardian Time» has no hands, besides the off-center hand for the GMT.
The indication of Hours, Minutes, Seconds is made by three revolving discs, mounted on ceramic ball bearings without lubricant. The setting of time can be done with the crown positioned at 8 o'clock (screw-on crown). The GMT function is indicated by a profiled hand and is equipped with a fast correction regulator positioned at 2 and 4 o'clock.
Each component of the movement has been thoroughly thought through, conceived and industrialized specifically for LADOIRE. Thus, only with the help of state-of-the-art partners could this ambitious project materialize.
Like for Haute Couture, the esthetic of the RGT lies on the precursor of made-to-measure. The look of the timepiece was entirely conceived by Lionel Ladoire: the exclusive asymmetry of the case is compensated by a slender fuselage, relaying an impression of astonishing equilibrium, mixing raw masculinity and opulence. This opulence, however, isn't ostentatious. Particularly tactile, there is softness emanating from the timepiece, which procures an incredible sensation of comfort when wearing it.
Equally prestigious, the bracelet of the RGT is exclusive to LADOIRE and was conceived following the rigorous criteria of fine leather goods manufacture. Composed of inserts in two parts positioned at 6 and 12 o'clock, it is cut in smooth full skin leather. The bracelet is fixed onto a dual buckle in gold or titanium, depending on the model, fully developed by Ladoire. In total, 17 integrations were necessary to obtain this level of finish. A perfection that is repeated with the hand-crafted double weaving and the black anti-allergic leather or alligator.

100% HELVET CERTIFIED
The young watch maker, guided by his passion, his obsession for detail and his perfectionism, sought the best from the experts in mechanic timekeeping. A radically new vision of high-end watch making: for Lionel Ladoire, the creation of a timepiece is primarily the work of a team, of men and women, without whom his project could never have seen daylight.
Henceforth the human aspect becomes the main fuel for success of the brand and its timepiece, the Roller Guardian Time (RGT).
A philosophy, which the creator has chosen to present to the public. Illustrating the sophistication and avant-garde of the brand, an internet site www.ladoire.ch pays tribute to all partners involved with the birth of the RGT.
