The young and beautiful Juliet Capulet who closed her eyes to prejudice, is the extraordinary heroine of Shakespeare’s famous play, Romeo and Juliet. Watch-making brand JEANRICHARD has used this remarkable character as an inspiration for its latest feminine creation: BRESSEL LADY “JULIETTE”.

The Bressel Lady “Juliette” achieves an idyllic blend of time and emotions. Displayed across its elegant white mother-of-pearl dial is a sentimental flourish, “je t’aime, un peu, beaucoup, à la folie…” winding its way past the subsidiary seconds at 7 and the power reserve at 4.30. The small hours and minutes dial located at 12 is illuminated by a paved path of 127 diamonds, separating itself from the sentimental hand-written letters.

The heart of the timepiece houses the in house JR1000 manufactured movement which powers the watch’s sophisticated time display. It can accommodate a variety of modules allowing the watchmaker a broad independence in terms of designing complications. This allows JEANRICHARD to pursue its philosophy of “reinterpreting time” and contribute to its fresh perspective in the watch-making universe by creating innovative, bold and contemporary products.

Inspired today by the avant-garde spirit of Daniel Jeanrichard, considered one of the founders of the watch-making industry in Switzerland’s Neuchatel region, JEANRICHARD honours its namesake with its Bressel collection, named after a small village located close to the city of La Chaux-de-Fonds where the watchmaker was born. JEANRICHARD confirms its contemporary originality by enriching the Bressel Lady collection, adorning it with an 18K pink gold case, a bezel set with 58 diamonds and with a sapphire cabochon on its crown. These harmoniously united elements are what give this timepiece its romantic architecture.
