Adventure takes on a fashionable blue style in 2015 with two watches that share every moment of active living with the JEANRICHARD Philosopher’s of Life. The casual daytime version features a steel case, blue ostrich strap and raw textured dial. Additionally, the Swiss Luxury Watch Manufacturer presents a more subtle and elegant version with a matt white dial, enhanced with blue suspended indexes, a set bezel with 54 diamonds and a steel bracelet. Both new models come in a contemporary and fashionable blue style, enhanced by the refined contrast between "vertically satin" and polished finishes.

With its unique design and style that is both sporty and elegant, the Terrascope has emerged as a new watchmaking icon. It bears the hallmark of a Philosophy of Life focused on discovery, adventure and the desire to go one step further each time.

JEANRICHARD has adapted its iconic model for 2015 to a second 39 mm diameter with subtly reviewed proportions: perfect dimensions to dress any wrist, while keeping the strong presence and assertive character of this watch alive. The Terrascope 39 mm keeps the same highly original case with cushion-shaped middle and round bezel while reinterpreting it to take advantage of new experiences across the globe. Its ingenious modular concept with sophisticated construction in several parts, allows materials and finishes of the different elements to be varied, giving each model a different personality – and thus meeting the tastes of everyday life's adventures.

Accuracy of these bound-to-be-coveted Terrascopes is guaranteed by a self- winding mechanical movement reflecting the ultimate Swiss excellence. A new feature of these innovative JEANRICHARD models is also the see-through case-back now implemented for this whole collection. Made of sapphire glass, the back of the watch gives insight on the black oscillating weight of the self-winding mechanical movement.

It’s time for “blues”: JEANRICHARD’s two new emblems make each day a new Philosophy of Life and lifestyle.

It would be a great pleasure to welcome you on our booth in Hall 1.0, D49 from 19 March to 26 March 2015.

De Bethune – DB28 GS

De Bethune – DB28 GS Titanium NEW

The De Bethune horological tradition is all about innovation

Making innovation the very core of the creative process. Viewing today’s approach as a continuation of the endeavours undertaken by the great master-watchmakers of the Age of Enlightenment. Integrating new technologies and applied materials with mathematical calculations and the fundamental principles of classic mechanics. Pushing the limits of watchmaking techniques while improving reliability and comfort. Favouring taut lines and juxtaposed materials, playing with finishes, volumes and light effects to convey and stir emotions – the very emotional appeal exuded by the greatest horological masterpieces.

 The DB28 GS expresses a bold character revealed through both its aesthetic and technical attributes. It fully complies with the strict rule of wearer comfort that De Bethune applies to its models, and particularly those in the DB28 collection. It owes this exceptional comfort to a combination between the lightness of the titanium case, the softness of its hand-polished finish, the 12 o’clock crown position, and above all the presence of the patented floating lugs system that adapts to wrist size and movements. A natural rubber strap featuring a microlight motif, a first among the brand’s collections, also contributes to making it extremely pleasant to wear.

This model has fully benefited from the special attention lavished on refined hand-crafted finishes performed in the workshops at L’Auberson, such as the microlight decoration of the bridges and mainplate, the flat polishing of the deltoid-shaped bridge, or the deep azure shade of the hands achieved using the ancestral flame-blueing technique. It also meets the high demands and reliability standards imposed by the De Bethune Technical Department on its in-house calibres, notably by equipping them with innovations and patented inventions that have been regularly rewarded the 13 years of research conducted by the engineers in La Chaux.

The DB28 GS proudly displays impeccable water resistance to depths corresponding to three full leagues under the sea. Its DB2115 calibre is equipped with a self-regulating twin barrel ensuring a 6-day power reserve – a performance that can be tracked by means of a blue indicator at 3 o’clock. The presence of the silicon/white gold balance wheel and balance-spring with flat terminal curve ensures the ideal inertia-mass ratio for an optimal frequency of 28,800 vph suited to wristwatches.

The work done on the regulating organ follows well-known physical laws. The patents for the curve of the balance-spring as well as the annular balance, featuring maximum inertia and minimal weight, composed of a disc made of openworked silicon (a light material in the centre) and white gold (a heavy material on the exterior), all present significant technical advances contributing to the performance and precision of this calibre.

The watch also undergoes a number of reliability and shock-resistance tests, which it passes with flying colours notably because of its triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system that protects the heart of its movement by a titanium bridge held by a spring system. Three jewels connect the various elements, serving not only to absorb shocks but also to secure the bridge in case of abrupt displacements.

The GS was designed by David Zanetta and Denis Flageollet; it was thought out and developed in the R&D lab in La Chaux, and then entirely crafted in the workshops at L’Auberson. The GS is a DB28: a true De Bethune creation.
