Manufacture Royale takes  inspiration from Voltaire. Yes, that Voltaire - a man that at one point  they refer to as the "Super Salesman." They should have just called the  watch "Voltaire." That would have been better than making it look like a  wrist catapult and for some reason calling it the Opera (well it does  have a minute repeater complication).It also appears that Manufacture Royale (with cheese), has been  influenced by the designs of fellow watch brand Louis Moinet. Both seem  to be focused on the "age of enlightenment" (and limitless coffers).  Another nod to fantasy is the Manufacture Royale logo. Above the "MR"  letter is a curved line with the handle of a sword coming out of it.  This is the sword in the stone - Excalibur from Arthurian legend. Make  of this what you will. I just smile and think of the Disney cartoon.  Does Merlin come with the watch? Perhaps a little Archimedes? Owls seem  to be really "in" right now.</blockquote>
