SIHH: JeanRichard Shows Two New Bressels and the Highlands Sand Sports Watch


JeanRichard Bressel Hommage Daniel

At SIHH JeanRichard is introducing three new men’s models: the Bressel Homage “Daniel” is inspired by a Daniel JeanRichard pocket watch created in 1710. The Bressel 1665 Small Hour and Minute offers a distinctive time display, and the sporty Highlands “Sand” reinterprets the original Highlands from the mid-1990s. All three are powered by in-house JeanRichard movements.

The Bressel Homage “Daniel” is dedicated to Daniel JeanRichard, the pioneer and “father” of watchmaking in the Neuchâtel Mountains, and is a celebration of one of his greatest creations, to date the only known silver pocket watch of its time – one created in 1710. The new model has an understated look. The pink gold case measures a classic 38mm in diameter. It houses a curved, white lacquered dial, echoing the enamel used on the pocket watch. The Roman numerals are painted in black and the leaf-shaped hands are blued. The date display is offset in red.

Behind the sapphire case-back are revealed the workings of the manufacture JR1000 movement. This self-winding engine offers a power reserve of 48 hours.

The Bressel Homage “Daniel” is also available with a diamond-set bezel.

Technical specifications for all watches appear at the end, and all images may be enlarged with a click.

The Bressel 1665 Small Hour and Minute name pays tribute to the Daniel JeanRichard’s place and date of birth. Aesthetically, this watch is at once contemporary and historic. The dial features an original placement of the functions, all powered by the JeanRichard manufacture JR1040 movement. Like the “Daniel”, the Bressel 1665 also measures 38mm in diameter. The hours and minutes are displayed off center at 12 o’clock, creating space for the date, power reserve and second indicator. The functions are arranged using traditional watchmaking stylistic elements: Roman numerals, “railway” minute track and leaf-shaped hands in blued steel. A sapphire case-back reveals the in-house automatic movement.

This model is also available with a diamond-set bezel or a pink gold case.

JeanRichard’s final men’s offering provides a distinct counterpoint to the classically designed and sized dress watches described above. The Highlands “Sand” measures a generous 44.5mmx40mm, and the design emphasizes its robust construction. The Highlands employs a JeanRichard design theme: a round bezel on a tonneau middle. The case, with screw-down crown, is water resistant to 100 meters. The notched, rotating bezel allows a second time zone to be displayed. The ecru dial is directly inspired by the original Highlands issued in the mid-1990s. The Highlands Sand is equipped with a fabric strap featuring a folding safety buckle, and it is powered by JeanRichard’s in-house JR1000 automatic movement.

This model is also available with a khaki dial on the Highlands Baobab or a black dial on the Highlands Ebony.
