The Renaissance of DELALOYE: A 24-Year Masterpiece in the Making

In the world of haute horlogerie, patience is often rewarded with brilliance. After a quarter-century of silence, Nicolas DELALOYE has emerged from the shadows with a timepiece that proves some things are indeed worth the wait. The Renaissance is not just a watch; it's a testament to enduring craftsmanship and a beacon for discerning collectors who appreciate the art of independent watchmaking.


A Tantalum Marvel: The DELALOYE Renaissance

At the heart of this horological resurrection lies the DELALOYE Renaissance – a limited series of just 24 pieces that marries cutting-edge materials with time-honored techniques. The watch's 39mm case is crafted from tantalum, a rare and robust metal that sets this timepiece apart from the moment it graces your wrist.

The Renaissance isn't just about looks; it's a mechanical marvel. Powering this exquisite timepiece is the in-house ND01.s movement – a manual-winding caliber that boasts a remarkable 72-hour power reserve. This movement isn't just functional; it's a work of art in itself, featuring:

  • Côtes de Genève 5N pink decoration
  • Black ruthenium balance bridges
  • Hand-engraved "RENAISSANCE" on the barrel bridge
  • A mesmerizing 18,000 A/H balance wheel

Craftsmanship That Speaks Volumes

The devil is in the details, and DELALOYE has left no stone unturned. The Renaissance's dial options include black or ivory enamel with painted Roman or Arabic numerals, offering a classic aesthetic that complements the watch's innovative construction. The hands, whether blued or polished steel, sweep across this canvas with grace and precision. The crown, adorned with an amethyst, adds a touch of regal elegance.

But it's the exceptional hand finishing that truly elevates the Renaissance to collector's item status. From the wolf-teeth ratchet wheel to the hand-engraved floral logo on the barrel bridge, every component has been meticulously crafted to perfection.
