Condition: This watch is in New Condition.* Complete with Box and Papers. The Roma Synergy is a product of two important names in the world of high horology: Schwarz Etienne and Kari Voutilainen. Its a partnership between two leaders in distinct facets of the watch industry. While Schwarz Etienne might not be quite as visible as Voutilainen its a powerhouse in the industry behind the scenes. The company over a century old produces cutting-edge calibers both for its own watches and others.The Roma is a staple dress watch in Schwarz Etiennes line-up that serves as the canvas for Voutilainen to apply his craft. Sized at a modest 39mm the stainless steel case.Etiennes caliber ASE 200.00 featuring small seconds and a micro-rotor something the manufacturer has come to specialize in. The micro-rotor sits flush with the movement plate while still allowing a full 86-hour power reserve and a thin size.The micro-rotor is decorated by Les Ateliers Kari Voutilainen along with snailing and diamond drops on the ratchet wheel (the large visible wheel next to the micro-rotor). Additionally the bridges are hand beveled. Black polished steel parts tie together the finishing. Black polishing is achieved by applying diamond paste on a tin plate and then by hand taking the part being finished and rubbing it on the tin plate until a mirror finish is achieved.On the dial side Voutilainens signature guilloche is on full display. Part of the magic of the design is the way in which various rose-engine-turned patterns play with each other in a way that creates interesting contrast and depth. The Roma Synergy comes in two dial colors: ocean blue and sand grey. Every dial is treated to a number of contrasting finishes by hand on a rose-engine machine. A soleil (sun) pattern in the hour track frames the ecaille de poisson (fish scale) pattern that constitutes most of the dial except for the small seconds which is treated to a vague (wave) pattern.The Schwarz Etienne name appears on a cartouche just below noon while a silver plaque at six oclock points to Voutilainens role in the creation of this piece of which 50 examples in each color will be made.
