Title: Daniel JeanRichard Bressel Manual Wind Watch
Post by: danny on July 04, 2009, 09:28:47 AM

Hi guys,
Came across this watch belonging to a friend of mine. It's a Daniel JeanRichard Bressel Manual Wind model with small seconds at the nine o'clock position. Ticking inside is the Unitas 6497 caliber with lots of nice custom decorations. I particularly like the way the plates have been dissected, which is different from the normal execution found on this caliber. Display back is there to show off the nicely decorated movement. Size is 43mm.
Anyone familar with this watch? Anyone interested in this watch?

Some quick and dirty photos below:

i was interested in this one. saw a used one at ampang point some years back. they wanted 3 to 4k, i forgot the exact amount which I thought was a bit too much for a used watch as the original is selling around the same previously. I said previously because I heard that the current Bressel goes for above 10k! :Startled:
