ROTORIS.
ROTORIS, a design-led watch house co-founded by Aakash Anand and Prerna Gupta, has begun the prelaunch of Manifesta Annual Production 2026-27.
The first Manifesta edition was fully allocated. The new annual production continues from that release, keeping its open-heart design but adding new dial materials, two case sizes and solid 18K white gold details.
For the 2026-27 production, some changes will be made to the original collection:
1. Movement: Japanese Miyota 82S0 automatic.
2. Dial Options: White Mother-of-Pearl, with Imperial Jade, Lapis Lazuli, and Pietersite added to the collection.
3. Gold details: The nameplate and the bridge over the open heart are made of solid 18K gold.
4. The case sizes : 40 mm and 36 mm are new in the new production.
5. Crown position: The crown shifts from three o'clock to two o'clock.
The Manifesta New Release features a solid 316L stainless steel case and is available in 40 mm and 36 mm sizes. The ROTORIS wordmark and the ring around the open-heart display are solid 18K gold, bringing precious-metal detailing to the timepiece without changing the case material.
Each Manifesta dial is made from a single piece of natural stone or shell, maintaining the unique pattern and variation of the material.
1. Lapis Lazuli: Deep blue with natural golden flecks of pyrite creating a rich contrast throughout the dial.
2. Imperial Jade: Translucent green with natural tonal variations, making each dial one of a kind.
3. Pietersite: Swirling bands of colour form a layered pattern that shifts with the light.
4. White Mother-of-Pearl: A soft, iridescent surface that reflects the light in different directions.
The hours are marked by lab-grown diamonds of VS to VVS clarity on each dial.
"Nature creates every Manifesta dial for us," said ROTORIS co-founder Prerna Gupta about the new release , "Each slice of stone has its own veins, its own colour, its own light, so each piece is special even before we give it a number. Choosing a Manifesta is choosing a dial that exists only once."
Manifesta now has the Japanese Miyota 82S0 automatic movement. The six o'clock open-heart display shows the balance wheel from the dial side, while a transparent screw-down caseback allows a view of the mechanism from behind.
The movement is equipped with a specially designed ROTORIS rotor, which combines the mechanical function of the watch with the identity of the watch-house.
ROTORIS releases its timepieces through finite productions, designated as either annual productions or lifetime productions. Manifesta Annual Production 2026-27 falls under the annual production category.
Interested collectors can begin by completing a profile on the ROTORIS website. Each profile is considered individually, and applicants are contacted when access becomes available. Completing a profile makes an applicant eligible for consideration but does not guarantee an allocation.
Prelaunch is 1 November 2026. Allocations are handled via the ROTORIS Registry and based on availability.
ROTORIS is a design-led watch house co-founded by Aakash Anand and Prerna Gupta. Its five collections are: Astonia, Manifesta, Monarch, Arvion and Auriqua. Inside the Manifesta is a single-stone dial and an exposed automatic movement. Each collection is based on a chosen movement, and each timepiece is released as a numbered edition with a published run size. ROTORIS Registry provides access to timepieces. ROTORIS also operates ROTORIS House, now open, and ROTORIS Room, a series of long-form conversations alongside the watches.
