Questions on the Bressel 1665 Chronograph

Jun 24, 2007,23:17 PM
 

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 chronograph module an in-house JR module? Is it a GP based module? Or some other 3rd parth chronograph module?

3) Does this Chronograph use a column wheel or clutch to start/stop/reset the chrono?

4) What are your thoughts on this watch? There are not many in-house chronograph movements out there (El Primero, Rolex, JLC, recently Patek etc), so this watch is really interesting.

Thanks in advance.

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...

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

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...

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...
