The RGM 501 Teddy Baldassarre Edition
The RGM 501 Teddy Baldassarre Edition is a new watch crafted by RGM, an American watchmaker known for its vertical integration and hand-made Guilloché dials. The collaboration with Teddy Baldassarre resulted in a unique 39mm stainless steel case featuring a stepped bezel and oversized crown. The watch showcases a striking blue galvanic-plated dial with two Guilloché patterns and black Breguet numerals, all protected by a box-style sapphire crystal. Powered by the Swiss-made RGM-Schwarz Etienne ASE 200 calibre, it offers an impressive 86-hour power reserve and is finished with decorative techniques like Côtes de Genève. Retailing at USD 13,900, this watch combines exceptional craftsmanship with a modern design aesthetic. It comes on a 20mm brown leather strap by Jean Rousseau and boasts a sapphire exhibition case back that highlights the collaboration and the significance of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in American watchmaking history. Although the initial batch consists of 25 pieces, it is a special edition rather than a limited one, making it an accessible choice for enthusiasts seeking a blend of luxury and functionality.
