Jeanrichard presents the Aquascope Marine

5 July 2010

- This summer, Jeanrichard launches the Aquascope Marine, and pays
tribute to its historic "diving" model of the 1960s: with the blue and
white colours of its dial and strap, the watch brings to mind the
marine world, and more particularly the seaside. This beautiful model
reflects perfectly well both sporty chic style and spirit of adventure
true to the brand’s values.




With a round opening in a “tonneau” shape, the Aquascope Marine
reflects the spirit of the 1960s given that the period’s approach to
aesthetics was the use of strong, unconventional geometrical shapes in
art, fashion and design. Inspired by the design and proportions of the
historical model, Jeanrichard has brought a fresh and contemporary
touch to the new version, especially through the curves of the case.




The brand has kept the model’s original monobloc case which protects
the two crowns with its edges and has designed distinctive facets on
both sides of the case to round off its ergonomics. The structured
calfskin chevron-patterned strap recalls the elements of the original
watch.

Cool...

Posted this up last week I think but more detail this time around....

...good stuff. I'd like to see it on a bracelet!

Sorry, the release is from the company and I didn't recall the earlier post. Probably because its not my speed but I thought it a good blurb.

think i replied love the watch, hate the strap and would put it on some kick-ass ridinfool AKA BJStraps leather! Good find doc!

This is SOME kind of watch Doc ! Between the case shape,
and those dual crowns, there is alot to like !!! The dial has a
traditional dive theme, as does the bezel, but it manages to
also have an updated feel as well imho. The 12 looks cool
by itself on the dial, as do those phenomenal looking hands.
Especially that BIG hour hand !!! ..It's the perfect blend
of past, and present !..It would be interesting to see if they
could make that identical strap into stainless steel too !!!
GREAT watch !..Thanks !!!

I like that one...JeanRichard is doing some interesting things as part of the Sowind Group which has Girard Perregaux....They came out with their own in-house movement--Unfortunately, very pricey....7-8K.. I think...

Nice looking watch....

I like the watch but Hate the strap.
