For TimeForArt, one of the world’s greatest enameller artist, Anita Porchet, and master watchmaker, Romain Gauthier, have reunited their expertise to create an exceptional, unique timepiece: a C by Romain Gauthier Platinum Edition, featuring an 18k white gold movement and sublimated by a miniature painting Grand Feu enamel dial signed by Anita Porchet.

This extraordinary artistic dial perpetuates the watchmaker’s high caliber work that Anita wished to highlight by writing Romain Gauthier's name on her artwork herself. A harmonious blend of the brand’s legacy and future, a modern and casual approach contrasted by precious materials and refined craftsmanship.  

Given full carte-blanche for the very first time, Anita Porchet drew inspiration from Century botanical illustrations and the spiritual reverence found in Chinese ink wash paintings. 

 Raw, spontaneous, rich with contrasting light and dark tones contrasted with the bright red lines of the small-seconds dial, the piece is a reflection on the powerful relationship between nature and humanity.  
 
It is not by pure chance that Anita Porchet and Romain Gauthier have united their know-how and even more for a piece dedicated to supporting today's most visionary artists. Both artists in their respective fields, they have the desire to preserve their creative freedom thanks to their autonomy, but also to protect the traditional and artisanal know-how, while making them evolve and integrating them into the current world. 

Anita and Romain are two passionate people who create and realize their works of art with no compromise approach, with an eye for detail and beauty. They are two craftsmen who advocate the values of the handmade and who do not give importance to time.
