PRESS RELEASE

Imagination, invention, adventure, romance: 1880-1930 was a remarkable half-century, giving birth to everything from electricity to radio to cinema, Art Nouveau to Art Deco, automobile to airplane, jazz and skyscrapers and, indeed, the wristwatch.

A unique winding mechanism communicates its power to the barrel via a tiny chain with minuscule tensioner, designed to evoke the chain of vintage motorcycles.

Providing structure to the movement are rigid plates suggesting the reinforcement of a massive, cast-iron structure supported by ten minuscule pillars. Other details recall the cross-pieces found in both the bridges of the era and the form of the Eiffel Tower.

?

Such a wealth of function, form and detail demands a stately enclosure. The movement is larger than most complete watches, so the majestic case is a generous 48mm by 49mm providing the spaciousness a Palace deserves.

As with every Jean Dunand timepiece, each Palace is a unique piece.
