With the ‘Tourbillon Bressel 1665,’ Jean Richard created an extremely attractive hand-wound mechanical timepiece. Impressive with a diameter of 42 mm. and excellent finishing throughout, it has an undeniably striking presence on the wrist.
The beautifully designed dial features a sunray pattern center, circular hour indices, and oversized numerals at 3 and 9 o’clock. The one-minute tourbillon occupies the lower half of the dial, while a power reserve scale with a corresponding hand is positioned below 12 o’clock. The blued steel hands are skeletonized to minimize interference with the dial displays.
Jean Richard was a luxury watch brand that aimed to recapture the heritage of one of Swiss watchmaking’s most important historical figures: Daniel Jean Richard (1665–1741). Jean Richard remains a veritable legend in Swiss watchmaking history and is still regarded as the founding father of the watchmaking industry in the Neuchâtel region in the late 17th century.
