The Androgyne is the brand’s most distinctive collection, with unique articulating lugs that are designed to easily conform to almost any wrist, not to mention giving the watch its unmistakable aesthetic.

The dial is open worked, offering a view of the tourbillon that’s prominently displayed at 6 o’clock, as well as the mainspring and barrel at 12 o’clock. Both are supported by bridges that are shaped like oversized sword-hands, matching the hour and minute hands, which are also sword-shaped. A shield engraved with the Manufacture Royale name and logo is screwed to the bridge at 9 o’clock.  What distinguishes this timepiece at first glance is the case. Don’t ever say you can’t put a square peg in a round hole, or, in this case, vice versa. A round bezel surrounded with polished screws fits inside a square, also with prominent screws, that hugs the wrist with smoothly articulating lugs. With its brash and throwback visage, the Androgyne might aesthetically fall into the steampunk category.The Androgyne comes in several combinations of full black, shades of gray and models with rose gold. All are finished to haute horlogerie standards with hand beveling and polishing.Although a watch with characteristics appealing to men, the name Androgyne suggests the piece is androgynous and can befit a woman as well.
