Bespoke, hand finished luxury watches...
ROYTER WATCHES
Founded by Dan Royter, an inspired New York watchmaker, ROYTER Watches has grown into a young, independent luxury watch brand that creates personalized, hand finished watches for daily wear. Born from a passionate idea of owning a hand decorated luxury timepiece, Dan learned and applied the skills to design and create his own bespoke watch.
ROYTER watches feature the renowned self-winding Swiss chronograph movement, the Valjoux 7750, which has been certified as a chronometer. The watches are meticulously crafted by hand in-house using traditional luxury techniques, such as straight graining, micro-blasting, beveling, gold plating, and more. The screws are polished to a black finish and the screw counter sinkholes are polished to perfection, giving the watches a sophisticated look. Free hand engraving adds a personal touch to each watch, making it one of a kind. These exquisite timepieces represent the epitome of luxury, combining Swiss precision with traditional craftsmanship to create a truly exceptional product.

Hand Finished Winding Rotor
Each winding rotor is shaped and finished using traditional techniques. Using special hand-held burnishing tools the edges are cut, smoothed and beveled along the edge at an angle of 45 degrees. After, the bevels are carefully polished by hand with various density pith-wood sticks and diamond paste to create the final mirror polish. Finally the rotor is hand engraved with the ROYTER logo and dipped in plating solution for the final bright white or rose gold finish.
Hand Polished Watch Case
Using cutting - edge equipment in harmony with the highest quality standards, each ROYTER watch case is carefully polished and finely satin brushed by hand to perfection. To achieve ideal depth of brilliance this process requires a steady hand, an intense attention to detail and many years of experience. It presents undeniable sophistication, pursuit of perfection and aesthetic refinement at every angle.
