For JeanRichard's final showing at SIHH (they will be exhibiting at Baselworld beginning in 2013), the La-Chaux-de-Fonds watchmaking house introduced two new collections, the Highlands which was discussed here, and the Diverscope LPR.

The Diverscope LPR is a diver's watch with a linear power reserve indicator; but unlike most power reserve indicators which display the remaining power reserve on subdial, this one displays it inside the 12 o'clock Arabic numeral. Like a typical fuel gauge, it displays full to empty, vertically.

JEANRICHARD debuted the 1990s inspired Highlands collection at SIHH last month. The collection consists of three pieces, two standard editions and one limited edition.

The Highlands collection comes in a 44.5 x 40 mm barrel shaped case with a round bezel and a bi-directional notched aluminum bezel which can display a second time zone. The movement is the JR1000, a self-winding in-house caliber. It features 27 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and a power reserve of 48-hours. Functions include hours, minutes, central seconds and date. Each piece comes with a fabric and leather strap. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Water-resistance is 100 meters.

Jean Richard has just unveiled a new diver's watch, the Aquascope. Like all of the timepieces made by Jean Richard, this watch is powered by the JR1000 (an in-house movement). This model was created to pay homage to the unique dive watches that were created by Jean Richard in the 1960s. The Aquascope stainless steel case is polished and satin-finished. The case features the brand's signature tonneau shape and is (44.50 x 40 x 11.85mm). The crystal is convex with a colorless anti-reflective treatment. To calculate dive time, the external bezel features a 60-minute scale, with 120 teeth (for half-minute settings). Surprisingly, the bezel is bidirectional, most dive watches feature unidirectional bezels, but in this case the bezel cannot be accidentally adjusted without first unscrewing the crown at 9 o'clock. Water-resistance is 300 meters.

La Chaux-De-Fonds based manufacture, JeanRichard, part of the Sowind Group, has released a preview of their new Worldtimer. It features a unique metal called Zirconium and it is powered by a new, modified version of their in-house movement, the JR1060. Instead of indicating the second timezone via an additional hand, this watch has an aperture at 12 o'clock that indicates the time digitally. The second timezone also features a day/night indicator. To control the second timezone, the crown on the left side of the case is used, and you adjust the city, using the city indicator window at 6 o'clock. This timepiece will be officially unveiled at the upcoming SIHH 2010, in Geneva, January 18th-22nd.

Earlier this year, at SIHH 2009, Jean Richard unveiled a new version of the Diverscope, powered by their in-house movement - the JR 1000. This automatic movement is the same one used to power their Chronoscope, as well as numerous other watches in their collection. It is designed to accommodate several complications, and can be supplemented by various modules providing virtually unlimited functions.
