GARRICK REGULATOR MK II ENGINE TURNED DIAL

Boasting a stunning engine turned dial, the Regulator Mk II by Garrick Watchmakers is a timepiece that reaffirms the importance of this quintessentially English independent watchmaking company within the evolution of contemporary British Horology. Featuring a classic regulator layout for the indications, wherein the hours, minutes and seconds are individually displayed upon a hand-crafted dial, and with the company’s exclusive Garrick Trinity balance visible on the dial side, each Regulator Mk II model will be handmade to order in the Garrick atelier based in Norfolk, England.

Exhibiting extraordinary depth and beauty, the dial surface is decorated using the traditional craft of engine-turning, rendered using a traditional rose-engine, and is available in choices of blue, anthracite grey, claret or rhodium (silver).

Against the endless intricate waves achieved by the artisan, the individual indications for the time, and the brushed steel chapter ring and nameplate standout in contrast giving the dial a three-dimensional aspect. Notably the hands are crafted in the Garrick atelier to their own exacting standards, and at the discretion of the client can be ordered with a hand polish or heat-blued finish. The exclusive Garrick Trinity balance is showcased through an opening at the 6 o’clock, and while it provides splendid balance to the regulator dial architecture, it elevates the technical character of the watch and gives the façade an additional visual highlight.

The Garrick Regulator Mk II is presented in a case of 904L stainless steel, measuring 42mm across and with a height of 10mm. The rounded profile is enhanced by sweeping lugs and a magnificent onion shaped crown with deep, tactile fluting. Inside beats the manual winding exclusive Garrick UT-G02 calibre, which was conceived and designed in collaboration with Andreas Strehler, with parts manufactured in both the UK at Garrick, and Uhr Teil in Switzerland.

With its free-sprung balance beating at a leisurely 18’000 vph, the movement has a power reserve of 45 hours when fully wound, and its beautiful hand finishing, which is appreciable through the sapphire crystal caseback, can be ordered with either gold or frosted finishing at the behest of the client.

The Garrick Regulator Mk II with engine-turned dial will be released in limited numbers, with the first 10 pieces available in 2023. The watch will be presented on a handmade alligator or premium leather strap, secured with a stainless steel pin buckle.
