Jean d'Eve “Quarta”

European Watch Clock and Jewellery Fair 1993 BF 308
An original Jean d’Eve design, the new “Quarta” timepiece comes equipped with a movement that divides the traditional 12-hour cycle into four quarter cycles of 3 hours each. The first covers the hours from 12 to 3, the second from 3 to 6 and so on. All four hour hands spring back to their initial position at the end of their run. This mechanically driven sectorial design comprises 80 components on a quartz time base. A five-hand version is also available : it features a minute subdial at centre. Water-resistant to 30 m, “Quarta” is available in steel, two-tone or 10-micron goidpiate finish, with matching metal bracelet or with leather strap fitted with a deployment buckle.
