R.O. SHOCK-SYSTEM®
The revolution in shock resistance
When deep knowledge, experience and pure craftsmanship come together, true innovation is born. The R.O. SHOCK-SYSTEM® brings this to life.
R.O. SHOCK-SYSTEM®
A mission born from experience
Roland’s years of experience at the workbench revealed a universal vulnerability: even the most refined mechanical movements are rarely equal to the unexpected impact of daily life. A watch that combines ultimate precision with extreme robustness proved impossible to find on the market.
In the quiet of his own atelier, Roland took on the challenge. His mission? To develop a construction that fully isolates the delicate heart of the watch from external forces. After countless prototypes, he perfected a system that offers protection without compromise.
The result is a unique synergy of technology, quality and elegance: the R.O. SHOCK-SYSTEM®
Floating suspension
The heart of the innovation
In this ingenious design, the movement is not fixed statically, but mounted in a floating ring. This ring is connected to the case by three specially developed Shock-Swing springs.
These springs act as a buffer; they absorb vibrations and hard impacts before they can reach the movement. Because the movement hangs in a ring carried by the three Shock-Swing springs, external forces are neutralised immediately.
What makes it unique?
The R.O. SHOCK-SYSTEM® combines innovative technology with artisanal craftsmanship
Shock absorption
Three Shock-Swing springs absorb vibrations and hard impacts before they reach the movement, keeping the mechanism optimally protected.
Externally adjustable
Uniquely, these springs can be adjusted from the outside for optimal tuning. A technical achievement without equal in the watch world.
Precision preserved
The result is a mechanical watch that not only measures time with precision, but also withstands everyday life.
TNO Tested & Approved
The R.O. SHOCK-SYSTEM® has been extensively tested by TNO, the renowned Dutch research institute. See the results in action.
High-Speed Camera Test
Captured with a high-speed camera: the Shock-Swing springs absorb the impact and protect the movement against extreme forces.
