Jean Dunand Palace, a time clock that

Jewels 28/07/2010

The prestigious Palace introduced Jean Dunand, a watch designed as a tribute to the icons of the start of the modern era. Since the birth of Art Nouveau, the automobile, the Art Deco, jazz, aircraft, skyscrapers, even their wristwatches are honored by this piece that has all the details that relate to this generation.

According to Executive Director Jean Dunand, Thierry Oulevay, 'the Palace's main inspiration is the cultural and social transformation in Western civilization over a period of 50 years, defined as 1880-1930.' It put this period in context: the Palace takes its name and the structure of London's Crystal Palace built for the Universal Exhibition of 1851, while sharing details with the pinnacle of aesthetic architecture of the time: the Eiffel Tower.

TheJean Dunand Palace beats with a whirlwind of a minute of flight, placed in position 6 in the afternoon, with the balance operating at a frequency of 3 Hz Above it shows the skeleton hours and minutes, and a sapphire crystal counter 60 minutes for the chronograph. On both sides of the shaft there are two vertical rails, one on the right corner to draw its power reserve of 72 hours, and the other a linear GMT indicator.

So complex and rich in detail is the Palace that each comes with a magnifying glass, for the owner to study over the years. His many details and secrets will be revealed surreptitiously, so that the observer will find something new to admire every time you display. Such sophistication to be crowned deserved a watch in a special box to house the 53 jewels 703 parts of this piece. Jean Dunand exists to create exceptional pieces. With the Palace, this manufacturer redefines the way of manual winding chronograph, enhanced by the role and flying tourbillon GMT. And it is right that the era that inspired the Palace has a personal significance of Jean Dunand: the clock represents the decades that correspond most closely to the life of the master craftsman who gave his name to this house.
