1770 Voltige / Manufacture Royale

The Manufacture Royale 1770 Voltige is well-finished & mechanically interesting (though not overly complex), with a special architecture & cohesive design. And while the Voltige still says “look at me”, it does so in a very tasteful and harmonious manner that even horological purists should be able to appreciate. Priced at $33,000 in steel ($51,000 in rose gold), the 1770 Voltige seems like one of those pieces worth putting into a collection, if up-and-coming independent brands are your thing — via Perpétuelle
