Product Description
Versatile in both style and performance, chronograph watches in the Aeroscope collection from JEANRICHARD are staples for any man. Available here in three styles, these Swiss-made watches feature Swiss automatic movement, chronograph functionality, and elegantly inscribed tachymeters Read More
if u like the design, buy it. These things are built like bricks......literally. Also, JR regulates (or used to) their movements, so your watch will keep time within +/- 5secs.
It was originally called Daniel Jean Richard, then shortened to Jean Richard. Girard Perregeux created the brand as their less expensive, entry level line (such as Tudor for Rolex). The reason they're so discounted is because GP pulled the plug on the brand and this is stock that's been sitting for years. Trust me, there were people who paid close to retail for these when they first released, obviously they didn't hold their value (same as Girard Perregeux in that sense).
just received the black model and I have some questions, firstly is the reset button slightly sunken into the watch case because mine is deeper in than the start/stop, second when I wind the watch it feels very strange and sometimes the rotor will do a weird super fast spinning noise when I’m winding, and lastly when I started to set the time I realized that when I moved the crown clockwise the hands moved counterclockwise. Are all of these normal or did I get a complete dud? I have a video of all of these issues as well. Anyone know what’s going on here? Also it didn’t come with a warranty card at all
Ok, back home and got some hands-on time. All seems normal. Certainly nothing weird winding it up.
One really odd thing – I have slightly below 6.75” wrist, yet had to use the last hole in the band, the one for widest fit. Thus can see why someone here said they can’t take JR seriously, but love the styling of this watch.
The movement is dry, it needs cleaning and oiling. Probably the watch was produced about 5-7 years ago, and it was sitting in stock since than, without moving. Other cause could be that the movement was "refurbished" by the manufacturer, they cleaned it, but did not oil it after.
So.. I guess I'll share that I own a version of this watch since 2015. Mine is silver on a rubber strap, just like the watch in the first three pics, however, instead of black hands and indices on a silver dial, mine has white hands and indices on a black dial. What's there to say? Fit and finish is nice. The chronograph works well and the buttons have a nice tactile response. No problems with the movement. It's not too thick. The only gripe I have with it is that the lume is a little subpar. It's not terrible, but it could be better. I have too many watches, and this watch gets above its share of wrist time.
Oh, and I got it for under $900 new, so the price here sucks.
Buy Without Hesitation…!
Hi! This is a fantastic watch with a very cool multi-part titanium cushion-shaped case and great legibility. I've been running an orange-handed version of this watch with a lovely carved-anthracite dial, polished (yes—highly polished Ti) and brushed titanium bezel, black PVD mid-case, and a custom leather strap (thanks MD) for maybe 5 straight years. I think I paid just over a thousand dollars: money well-spent. The movement is Girard Perregeaux (JR66+DD) through and through! Smooth, refined, quiet, efficient, accurate, and certainly not one of your usual boring and ham-handed Swiss chrono suspects. (Push a button and watch your chrono zero smoothly and perfectly—without wobble, mumble, half-step, or the clunkage of medieval gearing! It's a balm for jaded senses.)
For a so-called piggyback module engine, it has a very slim profile without that nutty vertical imbalance you find on something like a 1-generation-back AP Royal Oak Offshore, with its I'm-so-jewelier-than-thou stratospheric jewel-count and hey-look-at-me-cuz-there's-a-boat-anchor-on-my-wrist vibe.
This is my second-favourite chrono movement, next to Blancpain's F185/1185 and best bang-for-buck engine hands-down.
Just the thing for The Valjoux Blues!
PS. Sometimes you can still find their "208 seconds—Miracle on The Hudson" commemorative edition to honour the pilot, J Chelsey "Sully" Sullenberger and the 208 seconds of airtime landing his plane. I thought it looked kinda cheesy at the time but now regret passing it up. It has a 208-second spiral track for the second hand. (Pic from a review:)
AxeguyIsn't JR66 based on Sellita SW300-1 with a Dubois-Depraz module? Not exactly a GP movement don't you think? Do you have an on wrist picture of the watch? The size is a bit intimidating for my 6.75 inch wrist.
