Romilly Gents Automatic Dual Time Multi-Function Watch/ Black Leather Strap/Black-Rose Gold Dial
Uncanny style and an 'old world' feel can only come from the craftsmanship of Romilly. The large stainless steel case features a magnificent coin edge and matching onion style crown that catches the light. Upon the inner dial a trio of sub-dials catches your attention along with the polished detail of each metallic hour marker. Around these incredible details is a 24-hour chapter ring which measures a second time zone with incredible accuracy. To add to the already clever conception of this watch, it is accompanied by a stitched leather strap and a rose gold tone stainless steel buckle.

A successful businessman, author, meteorologist, and clockmaker, Jean Romilly rose from the life of a poor immigrant to an economic position often described as "close to opulence when the [French] Revolution occurred." Also often described as a clever and very successful watch maker who made multiple advances in Horology, Jean Romilly specialized in producing movements for watches, usually set in fine cases made by the most sought after case designers in Paris at the time.
Though, Romilly's most notable contribution to the watch making world was the creation of the "seconde morte" or independent seconds. Watchmakers in the past had made great efforts to transform the continuous motion of the seconds hand into one second steps, but it was Romilly whom finally accomplished this in 1755. A secondary feature of this mechanism allows the seconds hand to be stopped independently while the hour and minute hands keep running.
This man of many talents is once again recognized in this new millennium by means of this elegant automatic watch collection. Each timepiece is given an aristocratic feel by means of exquisitely textured stainless steel cases, stitched genuine leather straps, and cultivated folding buckles that provide a more personalized fit for any gentleman's wrist.
Indulge yourself in the classic style of Romilly.
