With its asymmetrical case, deconstructed time display and gentle curves contrasting with a powerful architecture, the Roller Guardian Time (RGT) challenges existing horological codes and creates tension in an unusual and resolutely avant-garde take on Haute Horlogerie.

The offset deconstructionist time display features separate hour, minute and second indications mounted on high-tech ceramic ball bearings. The hour is displayed by the smaller hand in the sub-dial at the upper left of the dial; the GMT/second time zone is indicated by the large hand around the perimeter of the dial; minutes have their own sub-dial at 4 o'clock; and seconds are indicated by a double-hand on a sub-dial at 3 o'clock.

The case features the time-setting and winding crown at 7 o'clock and a quickset GMT push-button at 2 o’clock, cleverly integrated into the case side.

Turning the watch over, the display back reveals Ladoire's sophisticated automatic winding manufacture movement, with a micro-rotor providing the power.
