We've taken a calculated, and we believe, safe gamble with the purchase of these exquisite timepieces. The history behind this "Manufacture," most particularly Daniel JeanRichard, is an inspiration and a tremendous draw us at SwissWatchBuys. His almost savant ability to recreate, from memory, a mechanical pocket watch by altering rudimentary farm tools into specifically designed and meticulously-handcrafted implements necessary for horological craftsmanship, is nothing short of epic. This was in 1679...!! Today, in La Chaux-de-Fonds you will find a small memorial to this seminal achievement...A museum housing the tools and tooling machines in a building known as "Villa JeanRichard". The gamble, you ask...? Daniel JeanRichard has changed their name to simply: JeanRichard. Ergo, an alphabetical shift in the buyers mental catalog may exclude people from any other search than the older Daniel JeanRichard moniker timepieces. Okay, that's weak...most people will pick up the name change without so much as a hiccup...! The most popular and hardest to find JeanRichard's are what we were able to purchase. These are truly magnificent wristwatches. For this reason and for the simple fact that these timepieces are of such premium quality, I call my gamble "Safe...!!" In the vast JeanRichard catalog you will find various iterations of these timepieces: Tourbillon, Minute Repeater, Perpetual Calendar, Automatic Diver with left-crown bezel actuation, Flyback Chronograph, GMT Chrono, Triple-Date, Big Date, Retrograde, and of course the introduction of their autonomous "In-House" movement, the Caliber JR 100 The opportunity to own a timepiece that bestows substantial fringe benefits that every collector and enthusiast craves, at absurdly low pricing no less, is absolutely wonderful. You will certainly find ample reward in JeanRichard...You will always remember Daniel...!
