It is possible for a watch band to venture successfully into
to the tough world of horology which is filled with great names of many years of
history. Jean Dunand Pieces Uniqes
launched in 2003 is the brain child of the great horologists named Christophe
Claret and Thierry Oulevay. They are important names in the Swiss watch making
world. Within a short period of time the company shot into prominence and the
world rates the watches as timeless beauty for exceptional people.
These watches are the results of the synergy released by two
great horologists. The vision shared by the two great Swiss resulted in unique watches
that really are the highest excellence achieved by the contemporary watch
making industry. The watches are named after a great Swiss called Jean Dunand 1877-1942)
a great exponent of the art deco movement. The naming of the company after this
great man is indeed a tribute.
Indeed the fashion world lapped up these great watches that
the world witnessed a shortage of supply for the patrons who are looking for
affordable alternative to the original.
The watches are notices for their innovative daring and the
capturing of so much beauty in such a small area. There is a weird enthusiasm
in the founders of the watch company to explore beyond the realm of watch
making and to create artifacts that time will not forget. The watches are revered
objects to the viewer. This is especially true in the case of Jean Dunand
Tourbillion Orbital. The boldness of the art deco tradition of the previous
years blends with the modern elements of the watch to give it a perfection that
will always remain in the world of aesthetics as a thing of beauty. There are
many things that the watch captures so beautifully and well. There is the speed
of the modern aircraft as it streams past in the air. There is the charm of
projecting skyscraper; there is the magic of the rhythms of the modern
generation, the elegance of the Hollywood
films and the grace of the Bugati automobile.
What gave these watches their exceptional charm? The
uniqueness of Jean Dunand watches is the result of conscious artistry by which
each watch is made unique by avoiding the duplication of material and design
used in a watch. At the same time the repetitive motif that is found in the art
deco tradition is powerfully present in each watch.
