A successful businessman, author, meteorologist, and clockmaker, Jean Romilly rose from the life of a poor immigrant to an economic position often described as "close to opulence when the [French] Revolution occurred." Also often described as a clever and very successful watch maker who made multiple advances in Horology, Jean Romilly specialized in producing movements for watches, usually set in fine cases made by the most sought after case designers in Paris at the time.
Though, Romilly's most notable contribution to the watch making world was the creation of the "seconde morte" or independent seconds. Watchmakers in the past had made great efforts to transform the continuous motion of the seconds hand into one second steps, but it was Romilly whom finally accomplished this in 1755. A secondary feature of this mechanism allows the seconds hand to be stopped independently while the hour and minute hands keep running.
This man of many talents is once again recognized in this new millennium by means of this elegant automatic watch collection. Each timepiece is given an aristocratic feel by means of exquisitely textured stainless steel cases, stitched genuine leather straps, and cultivated folding buckles that provide a more personalized fit for any gentleman's wrist.
Indulge yourself in the classic style of Romilly.
