NEUHAUS - JANUS DoubleSpeed Limited Edition
Manuel Neuhaus,
born in
1959 in
Hamburg,
Germany, he starts a ”regular“ school career, but decides to abandon high school during tenth grade and become a photographer instead.
After apprenticeship he works several years as a freelance painter and designer, but for all that earns his living during night shifts with one of Munich´s first graphic computers. Some years and two computer graphic companies later he decides to become self-employed in
1992.
After long-term and up to this day very successful activity as a media designer, in
2007 he starts to become interested in watches and, very soon, also for their design and especially in watch face design. First concepts are drawn. In
2008 he visits the
Basel World and as a result the idea of creating an own brand for a new watch line rises.
In January
2010,
NEUHAUS Inventing Timepieces was launched. The company represents quality, innovation and unconventional solutions.
Neuhaus:
”Before producing watches all about, we prefer not making any.“
Expect the unexpected...
NEUHAUS Logo
One of the mayor defining features of course is the
NEUHAUS logo inside the watch. It is designed in a noble 3-D effect in shiny silver. The reversed N causes a petite aha-effect. Like this, the company already uses its logo the present its objectives.

NEUHAUS Bracelets
Our bracelets are
W I D E. We build large watches. It would look inexpedient if the watch was held by a skinny bracelet. We would use even larger bracelets, but then our clients could just purchase new ones with us. You can chose from several bracelets. Either a fine Milanaise stainless steel bracelet with logo engravement on its butterfly clasp, as well as an ageless classic black leather bracelet with stainless steel buckle. They are 24mm wide.

Dial with running indication and night vision
JANUS DoubleSpeed´s top guideline is to keep watches
suitable for every day´s use. It has an optimally designed face with
easily legible numbers, coated with white superluminova colour which
luminaires bluish in nightview..
There is also an additional ring with luminous
indexing for quarter-, half- and complete hours. The ring is made of
matt steel, the white colour can only be seen properly when really
needed - in night vision. The watch ows its name to this ”two-faced“
visual appearance:
JANUS.
If you take a look at a mono hand watch, you won´t
realize if it is even working. This is why the DoubleSpeed disposes of
an innovative running indication, which offers an exceptionally
attractive solution for this problem.

Naturally the watch is waterproof until 5 ATM.
Both, the top and the reverse of the AR coated
saphire glasses will provide you a longlasting reason to rejoice your
pristine watch.

Acceleration instead of deceleration
The Janus Double Speed is an innovative mono hand watch which runs at double speed, meaning that the indicator goes round the complete clockface in only six hours.
As a result, the available space indicating one hour, is doubled from 30 to 60 degrees. improving the preciseness of time reading drastically. Put into practise, this means virtually down-to-the-minute exact indication of time. In this sense, the Doublespeed is the most accurate mono handed watch in the world, that is to say the most exact readable.zeiger-uhr der Welt, nämlich die am genauesten ablesbare.
Like in real life, good things do not go cheap. The owner of the time piece not only needs to know if it is e.g. 7am or 7pm, like with any normal watch. But he will also need to differ between 7am or 1pm. The difference turns out to be only 6 hours. Nevertheless, most people probably are in the position to handle this technique.

Design
A simple und functional appearance is beautiful all
by itself - and a brilliant design is not the replacement but always the
consequence of function.
According to this maxim, we design our
NEUHAUS
watches. A collection must be self-contained, coherent and consistent.
We dislike overlapping brand designs, where all watches look the same.
Exceptions from this rule are the trademarks, that you‘ll find on each
NEUHAUS.

ETA UNITAS movement with modifications
Literally the grand classic amongst modern handwinding movements. 36,6 mm diameter, the perfect match for our large watch.
Why handwinding? Each morning you wind up your watch
and put it on, it is like you had a chat with it, you feel its inner
workings and sensitivities and creates a connection. What is more, with
our crown the winding up will become one of your favourite activities.
Each movement is taken apart seperately and modified
to
DoubleSpeed. Therefore we manufacture completely new hands,
connecting all new parts. Then we verify faultless functioning and put
together all parts.

bracelet.
