JeanRichard no longer the baby brother of Girard-Perregaux

FrX,
Thank you for the report.

The crucial message is that JeanRichard is breaking away from the side of big brother Girard-Peregaux. 
The fact that you post this report on our HoMe page rather that the traditional G-P page shows that marketing edict is working.

By not being forced to used hand-me-down G-P movements, JR is doing as Tudor did to get away from Rolex.
At one time, JR even "made" their own movement and the product range had most of the complications found in the G-P range, thus cannibalising from big brother by having a lower price point.

With their modular construction of one engineering concept with three family branches (Land-Sea-Air) - now a fourth branch for Graphics is introduced - JR can focus on the mid-range customer...true consumerism. This new segment is young, urbane and trendy with multiple iterations of the basic watch. 
JR is the higher version of a SWATCH watch. No restrictions. No constrictions. No games.
They can just Do It!










Regard,
MTF

Report of the JEANRICHARD Graphiscope cocktail in Paris

Yesterday, it happened a big horological event in Paris at the Opera Gallery. You may smile by reading these words but as you know I'm always as interested by the communication strategies of the brands as by their watches and what I saw was quite unusual....

I like that idea a lot. And the model which is on the painting, too.

Yes in the 1681 watches, the JR1000 movement is in-house. [nt]

It leaves me speechless, in a negative sense

Did they just discover the work of Jackson Pollock? They should think of a collaboration with Romero Britto, it would fit the brand image perfectly :)
