AN ARRAY OF HAND-FINISHING
Manufacture Royale cultivates the art of haute horlogerie through the care devoted to the finishing and decorating of each individual component by hand. This is expressed in the MR03 by the fine-sandblasted bridges and mainplate, which are also hand-chamfered and black-polished with satin or perlage finish, and by straight-grained flanks on the inside and outside.

As a tribute to the year Voltaire established his prestigious horology firm in Switzerland, the luxury watch brand Manufacture Royale launches 1770, an exceptional mechanical timepiece integrated with an in house developed flying tourbillon.


An illustrious figure of the Enlightenment as well as an entrepreneur, Voltaire established his Manufacture Royale in 1770, close to Geneva. Several thousand timepieces of high quality were produced here including the work of renowned watchmakers such as the great Jean-Antoine Lépine.
