RODOLPHE spent more than seven years working and reworking this tonneau

form that has been endlessly reinvented and copied by a great many watchmakers

since the first sketches of the

INSTINCT

range appeared.

Yet no one but RODOLPHE has managed to instill so much strength and refinement

in its forms, because only a designer could extract so much power from a model such

as this. Here design goes beyond simple form or style to become the expression of a

concept, of an idea, of inspirations that the designer has drawn both from his deepest

emotions and his environment. The

INSTINCT

range bears the true hallmark of Ro-

dolphe watches; under the extravagance of its case, its bezel and its visible crowns it

expresses the purity and simplicity of an object designed to give its owner the fulfill-

ment of wearing a timepiece of unrivalled aesthetic perfection.

Everyone will find the beauty they seek in this line. In RODOLPHEs words: The idea

is to learn to look at the world from a different point of view. Reality and beauty are

highly individual perceptions. Three people will see three different things in the same

object, and we can of course view the object from all of these angles. Its this that I

wanted to achieve with the tonneau shape.

Through its size, its design and of course its contours, the

INSTINCT

range was desti-

ned to receive the finest watchmaking complications made available by RODOLPHE

and his Research & Development teams for their timepieces.

It embodies something RODOLPHE has always dreamt of and, before finally realizing

this imagined utopia, considered impossible: to design an object in which his passion

for form achieves perfect resonance with rigor, sophisticated technology, realism and

luxury. An unusual sentiment, an original interpretation of the moment, an object

from elsewhere but anchored in time, in our epoch, our generation. This is what the

INSTINCT

range expresses; a place where dream and reality coincide and coexist.

A fusion of art and design in its resolutely avant-garde acceptance, an amalgam of

complications and boldness, the

INSTINCT

line is dedicated to lovers of taste, beau-

ty, refinement and intuition. It is a watch that immediately arouses emotion, not only

in those who wear it but also in those who admire it.
