Comparatively new to today’s horology scene, Manufacture Royale was actually the first ever watch brand, having been founded in 1770. And even more surprising, Manufacture Royale was the business venture of the prolific French Enlightenment writer Voltaire. Today, Manufacture Royale’s master watchmakers and craftsmen develop inimitable watches. True to its brand’s core ethos, the bold (and sometimes opinion-polarizing) designs do not shy away from breaking convention and are certainly not for the faint of heart. |
