Aeroscope « AZ Fine Time Blog

This year had an entire arsenal of new watches, ranging in a wide variety of color combos, new techniques and impressive, stunning designs. We are proud to bring you all of the new models introduced by one of our favorite brands, JEANRICHARD.

JEANRICHARD 1681 DLC 60320-11-652-HB6A

We’ve seen some intro’s online of some of the new models introduced by the brand. One of which was their Nocturnal collection. The 1681 series has an all black sand blasted DLC finish with black matt dial, and features their in-house manufactured JR1000 movement.

JEANRICHARD 1681 DLC 60320-11-851-HB6A

Very similar to the all black version, JR also introduced a beige grained dial variation, adding legibility to the line up.

JEANRICHARD 1681 Brown PVD 60320-11-653-HB6A

Also added to the 1681 lineup is a new take of PVD coating in brown. The sandblasted finish looks very impressive in person, and will actually patina over time.

JEANRICHARD 1681 Brown PVD 60320-11-852-FKBA

Basically, over time, the finish of the PVD color will start to slightly change color over time, giving even more character to an already gorgeous piece. This patina is something we have not seen in a coating finish before. Pretty incredible stuff by our friends at JEANRICHARD.

JEANRICHARD 1681 Blue Lacquer 18k Gold 60330-52-401-BB40-1

The 1681 series has also introduced 2 new blue lacquer dials as seen before in there Terrascope series. The first model is pictured in in an 18k pink gold and features there JR1090 movement, with small seconds at 9:00. This model will come on a dark blue alligator strap.

JEANRICHARD 1681 Blue Lacquer Steel

The stainless steel variant with blue lacquer contains their JR1000 movement with central seconds and arabic numerals. The highly polished case with vibrant blue calfskin strap are another great addition to the series.

JEANRICHARD Aeroscope 3 Hand White 60660-21G751-FK6A

As a whole new variation of the Aeroscope series, the 3 handed Aeroscopes will come in a nice variety of matt colors including, white, black, grey, blue and green.

JEANRICHARD Aeroscope 3 Hand Black 60660-21G651-FK6A

All the cases on the 3 hand Aeroscopes will come in a sandblasted finish with 60 minute bezel. This is a new take on the finish, as previous Aeroscope chrono’s had satin and high polish finish.

JEANRICHARD Aeroscope 3 Hand Grey 60660-21G251-FK6A

Another interesting attribute of the line up is the numerals/indexes used in the series. They are actually 3D printed out of luminous material, making the numerals glow not only on the top, but also on the sides. A new and unique feature by JR.

JEANRICHARD Aeroscope 3 Hand Green 60660-21BA51-FK6A-1

The matt colored dials are outstanding looking in person. The military green especially. These are not the typical vibrant colors you typically see from the brand.

JEANRICHARD Aeroscope 3 Hand Blue 60660-21B451-FK6A

The dark navy blue dial is also very impressive. The 44mm cases on both the blue and green are finished in a sandblasted DLC finish, giving even more variety to the line up.

JEANRICHARD Aeroscope Honeycomb 60650-21L752-FK6A

Also newly added to the Aeroscope series is a sandblasted set of chronographs. The case design is still the same and also still uses grade 5 titanium, but the new finish makes it clear visually that these models are indeed titanium.

JEANRICHARD Aeroscope Honeycomb 60650-21L654-FK6A

The bezel on these new Aeroscopes now feature a tachymeter instead of a 60 minute counter. Very appropriate for a chrono, and also contributes a lot to the look.

JEANRICHARD Aeroscope Honeycomb 60650-21L252-FK6A-1

This new series also has a new dial design. Instead of using the vertical satin finish, they will all have a very cool honeycomb textured dial. It’s not subtle, easily being seen at first glance, and looks incredible in person.

JEANRICHARD Aeroscope Honeycomb 60650-21M652-FK6A

There will as be a sandblasted DLC variation in the series. Only the black honeycomb dial will come in the DLC case. The tachymeter and numerals will be highlighted in white, and the red second hand gives that little bit of extra character.

JEANRICHARD Aquascope White Matt Dial Blue Bezel 60400-11D705-FK4A

The Aquascope series added a few new models, and one of the favorites in the JR booth was the new blue bezel with white matt dial. The indexes are slightly different, being attached to the chapter ring instead of the dial, making them float above the dial. Very impressive.

JEANRICHARD Aquascope “Hokusai” Grey 60400-11B402-FK4A-1

The pre-Basel launch of the “Hokusai” series was incredibly well received even before landing here in Basel. The series features beautifully embossed dials with the artists “Great Wave of Kanangawa” texture. 1st in the series is the grey dial, which is far more impressive in person as compared to the pictures online. All of these models will be very limited, and the grey dial in particular will be exclusive to AZ Fine Time in the USA.

JEANRICHARD Aquascope “Hokusai” Blue 60400-11B402-FK4A-1

One of my personal favorites is the blue variation. I’ve always loved the standard Aquascope, blue dial, and this model just bumped that love up one more level. Seeing as these pieces are made to celebrate 150 years of Swiss – Japanese relations, I felt it was only appropriate to add one to my collection. This blue “Hokusai” is inbound and soon to be on my wrist.

JEANRICHARD Aquascope “Hokusai” Black Blue 60400-11-G606-FK6A-1

There were also 2 surprise models in the “Hokusai” series. The 1st is black dialed, PVD coated variant, with cool blue accents.

JEANRICHARD Aquascope “Hokusai” Black Red 60400-11G608-FK6A

The second model is virtually the same, but using luminous red accents for the indexes and hands. Both pieces are stunning in person.

JEANRICHARD Terrascope Bronze Dial 60500-11-20D-FK6A

JEANRICHARD Terrascope Bronze Dial 60500-11-602-FK6A

The Terrascope series had a whole lot of new models added to the line. Two of the models have a very unique bronze dial, that has a scratched up texture to it. These are both very impressive in person. One of which is all steel finish and comes on a matching brown pin ostrich strap giving a more dressy look. The other comes on rubber strap with PVD coated inner case, giving a little more sportiness. Both look outstanding.

JEANRICHARD Terrascope 60500-11-20D-FK6A

JEANRICHARD Terrascope Beige Grained Dial DLC 60500-11-802-FK6A

JEANRICHARD Terrascope Black Matt Dial DLC Pink Gold 60500-56-603-BB60

JEANRICHARD Terrascope Grey Matt Dial DLC Pink Gold 60500-56-207-BB60

There are quite a few black toned models in the assortment of new Terrascope’s. The color combos are excellent, varying DLC with combo’s of gold tone on the dial or bezel, or case sides. Basically, you have a ton of new, ultra-cool models can touch on any style.

JeanRichard Art Series Paintsplash

A new art series was also debuted with very colorful, unique paint splash designs on the dial and strap. There is one model in the line up that does not have color, but white paint splashes.

JEANRICHARD Terrascope Art series Colors Aluminum Titanium 60500-10-702-FK4A

Probably one of the most unique and colorful JR’s is the new Terrascope that has a specially treated aluminum case. A green bezel, orange inner case and blue case side inserts make for something we have not seen before. The white matt dial has blue indexes with orange luminous material at the tips and on the hands. The case back on this piece is the only part not treated aluminum, but titanium, ,keeping the weight extremely light.

JEANRICHARD Aeroscope Red Arsenal

JEANRICHARD Terrascope Silver Arsenal

In collaboration with their new partner Arsenal Soccer Club, JEANRICHD has launched two new models with the team. There will be a DLC coated Aeroscope chronograph with red honeycomb dial, and red carbon composite bumpers around the pushers. The continuos running second hand sub-dial has the Arsenal cannon logo for the hand. The Terrascope is slightly more subdued, with vertical satin silver dial, black chapter ring, and red luminous material at the tip of the index and for the hands. The Arsenal cannon logo is located right above the 6:00.

Tons of great new things from JEANRICHARD this year, very exciting and most all of these products should be out by June!

The importance of time is something that can be truly under valued. On January 15th 2009, US Airways flight 1549 left LaGuardia Airport at 3:25pm headed for Charlotte, NC. The commercial flight carrying 150 passengers and 5 of the flight crew struck a flock of geese that were too close to avoid within about a minute and a half of take off, causing the loss of both engines power. The loss of thrust brought forth the realization that the plane could possibly crash in one of the highest populated areas in the world. At about 3,000 ft above the city, and descending rapidly, Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger had to take control of the plane and start looking for places to land. At first, the thought was to return to LaGuardia, but that option was not possible. The next thought was landing at Teterboro Airport in NJ. This was also not an option. The only level and large enough place to possibly land at that point was the Hudson River. Captain Sullenberger reacted fast enough to decide to land the plane on the Hudson, and glided the aircraft ensuring the nose was up, and wings were level when landing the plane on the river. With the help of his Co-Pilot and crew, Captain Sullenberger successfully saved 155 lives. This feat was truly amazing in many ways, incredibly heroic, and an example of how time is precious. It was was only a mere 208 seconds from the time of the incident to their landing on the Hudson.

On the 5th anniversary of the “Miracle on the Hudson”, JEANRICHARD and Captain Sullenberger launched a limited edition timepiece commemorating Flight 1549 and the fact it landed on the Hudson, with no loss of life. The “Philosophies of Life” that Captain Sullenberger and JEANRICHARD share are what brought them together. Striving for excellence and staying vigilant are two of these traits that especially reflect these philosophies of life, but also modesty and precision. Captain Sullenberger was a part of the US Air Force, an aviation expert and accident investigator. That as well as nearly 40 years of flying experience contributed to the heroic act. The calm minded reaction of Captain Sully and his crew were also a big part of this and one of his incredibly modest quotes “We were simply doing the jobs we were trained to do”, makes you appreciate it even more. Not an athlete, not a celebrity, but an average guy who did something unbelievably extraordinary. A true hero.

The new 208 Seconds Limited Edition JEANRICHARD Aeroscope has highlighted the 208 seconds it took to save 155 live with red accents on both the chronograph minute’s counter and the inner dial track. There are 3 white tracks on the inner dial that do a full 60 second lap around the dial, and a red track for the last 28 seconds displayed on the dial. This totals up to the 208 seconds without even having to look at the sub dial.

The chronographs minute counter is highlighted in red for the first 3 minutes and with the red track showing 28 seconds, totals back up to 208 seconds. These obviously pay tribute to the flight, but also add for great detail on its beautiful black vertical satin finished dial. The silver embossed chronograph and seconds counter sub dials also contribute a nice contrast, and easy legibility.

The 44mm cushion shaped titanium case is also exquisitely finished using a combination of vertical satin finish as well as an elegant high polish. This truly gives a great feel for the quality and craftsmanship that goes into the JR brand. The other intriguing attribute on this piece is its inner cushion shaped case with DLC finish. The case side inserts that surround the DLC portion are in titanium silver finish contributing an awesome look for the timepiece.

The sticker crown is branded with the JR logo and has a colosseum type design on the sides. The chronographs titanium pushers are surrounded by carbon fiber composite, giving a unique and firm feel when operating. All Aeroscope’s are 100m water resistant, and this piece is no exception.

The movement utilized is the JR66 self-winding chronograph. The movement starts as a base Sellita SW300-1 for time keeping, which is then modified by JEANRICHARD, and a Dubois Depraz chrongraph module piggy backing the base. This caliber has 43 jewels, 28,800bph, and a minimal of 42 hour power reserve. The display is quite simple and easy to read with centralized luminescent skeleton hands for hours and minutes, red with luminescent tipped centralized chronograph seconds, sub dial at 3:00 for actual seconds, chronograph hours displayed at 6:00, and chronograph minutes at 9:00. All of the sub dials hands are black and skeletonized.

With closed case back, the 208 Seconds Limited Edition is engraved with individual serial number out of 208 pieces made. The strap is a black Barenia calfskin strap, with white contrast stitching and dual push button deployment clasp.

The luminova is not only on the centralized hands as mentioned previously, but also each index has a small square of lume found on the chapter ring.

The JEANRICHARD Aeroscope 208 Seconds Limited Edition 60650-21O601-HD60 retails for $5,400. Part of the proceeds of the watch will go to The American Red Cross and The Rory Staunton Foundation, two of Captain Sullenberger’s philanthropic endeavors.
