A first look at JeanRichard in 2007, which may bring you closer to the brand
Dear enthusiasts,
hopping over to the JeanRichard booth, the main attraction for this year is the "Times Square" model with a completey new and original way to indicate time:
Equipped with a manufacture-made movement based on
the caliber JR 1000, it´s far more interesting beyond.
Sized comparable to previous Paramount version, the
new model offers a case of matte-finished steel with sandblasted Titanium
elements; a very nice and unusual way.
But that´s by far not the only new
piece; the new Bressel "1665" chronograph, which also features a movement based
on JeanRichard´s manufacture-made caliber JR1000, is a really nice watch. The
dial is interesting, in that the subcounters are not round. In addition, the
case and movement are modified from conventional module chronographs, which
result in the pushers and crown to be in the same level. A detail not found
elsewhere:
The "Bressel 1665" range is added by
another time-only watch with subsecond, which i find to be pretty and
interesting, not the least due to the manufacture-made movement.
JeanRichard proudly introduced more
variants in the Lady Paramount range for female enthusiasts; more detailed
insights later, for now i´ll close with some wrist shots and views which may
give a better impressions of the news and may be appreciated, being as much fun
for you as they are for me :-)
Enjoy :-)

Ahh...finally get to see the 'thing'...
I've heard rumours about a new way of telling time...so this is it! Cool and unique! The triangle hour hands turn dont it? The chrono looks cool as well...seems like its got some retrograde functions. Give us more Peter!! Regards Jacky
Peter I never would have recognized you in the picture - LOL
May be it is just late in the day. thx
A side view of the Bressel 1665 Chronograph
This may show the special crown and pusher arrangement better; actually these are in the same level, which is very rare among modular chronograph constructions! Cheers, Peter...
Questions on the Bressel 1665 Chronograph
Peter, Thanks for your posts. Appreciate it. Some questions: 1) The JR1000 movement - is this a fully in-house manufactured movement, or is it based on a GP caliber? 2) The Bressel 1665 Chronograph, which is based on the JR1000 movement - is the chronogra...
Pleasure! Some points
G'day, some answers! The JR1000 caliber is "in-house"; technically GP and JeanRichard do share some ressources, but the movement is designed, developped and manufactured in-house and for use by JeanRichard exclusively. So i think it´s as much JR as it get...
