Maunfacture Royale

I'm surprised why this brand's creation was not featured on PuristsPro, or did I miss that thread?

Sure, a new Forum must be opened. Without delay! Best, Kari

maybe because it is too ugly ?

Sorry, this is a personal opinion but .. what an ugly watch

Agree. Another personal opinion. :)

Way too much. Vte

Given the fact that Switzerland never had a king, a "royal manufactory" is a bit weird ...

... or rather unmasks what it actually is: a marketing vapour. the watches, at least what I saw before I shot up that annoying endless animation window, had an interesting steam-punky touch, though. Marcus

I felt like I was on a roller coaster

... with only an iPad, so I can't view their website because it is flash-based. But all the comments have got me intrigued! I have all these images in my head just from the replies. I will revisit this when home in 4 days! A

Why??

Its funny but I came across this brand a few days ago... they have a nice looking watch but why on earth would you have it extending out to look like the Sydney opera house? who wants this? Was this a serious idea or did something just think some sucker w...

an iPad too.... Sometimes it s a tad fustating When you cannot view a site.... However, in this particular case, it could be a blessing.... Cheers

Does it come with cheese?

(looks like it well might weigh more than 1/4 Lb) I remember seeing this from a friend who's big into Steampunk, we agreed that they have some interesting engineering and some awful aesthetics! they're buying some high-end movements though..... A

Has anyone contacted the 'MediasCenter' for more information ?

Proofreading the website might be a good idea.

Lack of simplicity, overloaded design and 3 years too late...

A bad timing for this brand I'm afraid. Some interesting ideas lost in a too convoluted style... that's my feeling. Fr.Xavier

Not my cup of tea

and not good pictures on the site. I also basically agree with everything everyone else said about the name, the design, well everything... Best regards, George

Is it part of any big company ( Richemont, LVMH, ect) or an independent?

 
 By: patrickmaniac : January 11th, 2011-23:28
Interesting design but not much info on the movement? Would it be Chinese engine but branded in Swiss? cheers PAt

Independent, but not AHCI
