Horological Meandering

Some explanations, first, before discussing this Watch. - 1681: This is the year Daniel JEANRICHARD completed his first Watch, and it is said to be the first Watch in Swizerland! - Central seconds, because a version with small seocnds is available, too. -...  

Dial, hands and see-through caseback suggest dress? Not an instant like but I think a writshot would give it a chance to redeem itself.

For Dive, I have something else to show you, soon. ;) To be seen in the flesh, indeed. I was not impressed, before seing it in the flesh, and the real encounter made me change my mind. Best, and thanks for looking! Nicolas

a very nice watch with an unusual case design which I fine very appealing. Need to try it to be convinced about the size though! 44mm "sounds" large;) Sporty, elegant I would describe it. Thank you Nicolas, didn't know that JeanRichard dated from 1681! Wo... 

On the wrist, it is definitely convincing... If it didn't have this damn date... ;) Best, Nicolas

agree with you, why on earth "destroying" this otherwise beautiful dial with a date? Especially such a ridiculously small window in the context. Cheers Francois from Down Under

and pretty date;) I am not against all of them:) Cheers my friend Francois from Down Under

... JR1000 movement in order to remove the date. You can't just cover the date with the dial because you have the 3 position crown to deal with. I agree with you and Nico about the small date window on this occasion. Although most of the time I find a dat... 

a white rectangular speck on such a beautiful dial..... Cheers Francois

Beautiful case, nice dial and fair movement at a reasonable price. My hesitations are the size of the case and the date, so I must see it in person. It has a lot of charm. The date is not ideal, but not a deal breaker either. So few integrate the date and... 

its ok, but doesnt really hit me. i cant explain why, its just one of those things. the case shape is very like my Lum-Tec and the same size, but still doesnt do it for me i'm afraid. thanks for showing though G

i was only comparing the shape although some of the Lum-Tecs have a great finish. the tungsten case especially. best G

.. the kind of Arabic numbers, alternating and clean. - in fact, also the watch appears much smaller than over 40mm, and I guess, the cushion shape, also is a characteristic element Alltogether contributing to a somehow commanding twist.. But a twist, wit... 

First, I'm with you Nicolas regarding the date - the dial would be much cleaner with no date complication. (I also happen to be a card carrying member of the anti-date club, but that's another issue) I like the size, color and particularly the fact that t... 

You know I have a soft spot for blue dials... Paired here with a brown strap looks looks very nice, IMO. :) Best Blomman
