JeanRichard 2TimeZones Zirconium limited edition

JeanRichard 2TimeZones Zirconium

The new JeanRichard 2TimeZones Zirconium automatic watch is powered by an in-house JR1060 automatic movement, which is ticking inside a 43×43 mm case made of zirconium and rubber.



As you can see on the photos, JeanRichard’s designers decided to get rid of the usual 24-hour second time zone indication in favor of a less traditional 12-hour indication. This kind of solution allowed them to make the Arabic numerals a bit bigger, but, at the same time, demanded for an introduction of an extra disc with “AM” and “PM” indicators.

To make using the GMT feature even simpler, JeanRichard has also introduced another indicator at 6 o’clock featuring a list of 24 cities, each representing a certain time zone. The indicator is operated with the secondary crown located at 9 o’clock.

The primary crown at 3 o’clock is used to set correct time and date as well as to wind up the watch.

The hour hand is comfortably operated with two pushers located at 8 and 10 o’clock and allowing for moving the hand counter- or clockwise at a push of a button.
