JeanRichard Titanium Diverscope 300M DiverThe new JeanRichard Titanium Diverscope automatic diving watch was announced about three months ago, but was officially presented only last week at SIHH 2011 trade show.Like the rest of the gang, the watch is presented in a cushion-shaped case with a pair of screw-in crowns at the left and right side: the former operates the internal bi-directional rotating bezel, and the latter is for winding, as well as for setting time and date.The timepiece is, however, slightly smaller than some other JeanRichard watches that are powered by the same in-house JR1000 automatic movement.Its sandblasted titanium case is only 43 x 43 millimeters wide and high, which makes the watch more suitable for casual wearing.Make no mistake though, with a water resistance rating of impressive 300 meters, this is a real tool watch for hard-core divers. If used together with an electronic diving computer, it will serve you well and will certainly justify the price, which is going to be high.

The SIHH 2011 trade show heartily welcomes new watches, produced by the house of JeanRichard specially for men. The line includes three extraordinary timepieces: Bressel Homage Daniel, Bressel 1665 Small Hour and Minute as well as Bressel Highlands Sand.The new Bressel Homage Daniel watch is a respectful nod to Daniel JeanRichard, the pioneer of watch*** in the Neuchatel Mountains. It is offered in a pink gold case, which measures 38 mm in diameter. The height of the case is equal to 9.30 mm.At 3 o'clock, the case features a perfectly executed winding crown. The allure of the model in question is further enhanced by elegant lugs. They open into a black alligator leather strap, finalized by a pink gold tongue buckle. The case is built to be water-resistant up to 30 meters.The top of the case is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The back side of the new JeanRichard watch is also fitted with a sapphire glass, which offers a great view of the in-house manufactured self-winding caliber JR1000 movement.Studded with 27 jewels, it runs at the rate of 28, 800 vibrations per hour. The power reserve, supplied by this reliable mechanism, constitutes 48 hours.This caliber serves to animate the functions, which are immediate and clear on a white lacquered dial. Fitted with black Roman numerals, it ensures hours, minutes and seconds, individually displayed by blued-steel leaf-shaped hands.The watch face also offers a function of date, shown through an aperture at 3 o'clock. The number, denoting the date, is clothed in red. Completing the impeccable design of the dial is the brand's name, which resides beneath the Roman numeral at 12 o'clock. The next men's watch, named Bressel 1665 Small Hour and Minute, pays tribute to the Daniel JeanRichard's place and date of birth. Representing the brand's desire to offer a piece of history, this model is skillfully brought into a contemporary context.The model is delivered in a noble stainless steel case. Its dimensions are 38 mm x 10.75 mm: diameter and height indicated correspondingly. The case is equipped with an easy-to-grasp winding crown, conventionally located at 3 o'clock.

The small seconds tick away in a neat counter, arranged in the left part of the watch face. The main counter is overlapped with a date display.
