Ladoire Geneve Helvet Mechanic Roller Guardian Time Watch by Watchismo
Lionel Ladoire's first collection of watches heightens the standard of watchmaking with its smooth design and newly renovated face. Breaking away from the traditional standards, the watch brings something truly new to the table. Set on micro ball bearings, three revolving discs indicate hours, minutes and seconds. The back of the watch reveals the ultimate view of the micro-rotor for automatic winding, while the fine leather band features a gold or titanium dual buckle.
Forty watches will be released from Ladoire's limited edition series in its first year of production. For more information visit the website and view more images after the jump.
