Honoris 1 White Gold

White Gold “Smooth Bezel” — Black Feu Enamel Dial

Haute-Rive unveils the Honoris I White Gold “Smooth Bezel”, an exquisite new interpretation of the Maison’s debut masterpiece. Limited to just ten pieces per year, this creation encapsulates the brand’s philosophy — the pursuit of timeless beauty through technical excellence and uncompromising craftsmanship.

A movement shaped by innovation

At the heart of the Honoris I beats the HR01 caliber, a manually wound movement offering an extraordinary 1,000-hour (41-day) power reserve from a single barrel and a 3-meter-long mainspring. Its patented energy architecture includes a mysterious flying tourbillon with a one-minute rotation, angled anchor escapement, and variable-inertia balance wheel.

The architecture measures 38.45 mm in diameter and 7.75 mm thick, comprising 288 components and 35 rubies. Each plate and bridge is sandblasted, grained, and hand-beveled using Jura gentian wood, reflecting the highest standards of traditional hand-finishing.

The purity of design

The 42.5 mm case in 18 K white gold features a perfectly smooth bezel, emphasizing clean geometry and the understated strength of the design. The case is complemented by a domed sapphire crystal and sapphire back, ensuring a full view of the HR01’s architectural beauty within.

The black grand feu enamel dial, created using the champlevé technique, rests on an 18 K white-gold base plate, radiating quiet depth and intensity. Leaf-shaped hands in polished blued steel enhance the composition, echoing the Maison’s refined aesthetic language.

Enduring craftsmanship

Each Honoris I is fitted with a hand-stitched nubuck calfskin strap, available in black or brown with tone-on-tone top-stitching and secured by an 18 K white-gold buckle. Water-resistant to 30 meters, the timepiece remains elegant yet robust — a watch made not for trends, but for legacy.
