As we all know, JeanRichard was one of the first Swiss watch makers to see the economic writing on the wall a few years ago that prices were getting a bit too high to sustain the overly ambitious international Swiss watch market. So what JeanRichard did in most markets was decide to reinvent themselves as a lower cost brand that used ETA or Sellita produced Swiss movements versus those made in house.
When I first saw this, I felt like it was a more playful way of doing waves on the dial of a dive watch, as made popular by brands such as Omega and Ulysse Nardin. The Aquascope is a dive watch after all, so producing a blue one with a wave-patterned dial is nothing strange. What is simply cool is using Hokusai's waves as a means of doing such. Such a concept makes it clear that at modern watch manufacturers you have traditional watch designers working in close collaboration with more modern thinking graphic designers and artists. In person, the Hokusai wave pattern on the dial of these JeanRichard Aquascope models is pretty cool. I wouldn't say that the designs "pop" as much as they do in the marketing photos, but the theme of the dial as well as the Hokusai art are not lost and neither is any significant dial legibility. Being a bit of a Japan-lover (Japanophile), as well as a fan of Hokusai's art and traditional Japanese woodblock carving, I knew that little could sway me away from disliking this watch.
We could see the JeanRichard Aquascope Hokusai Watch design, it's an amazing design. Buy cheap replica hublot big bang black magic watches and other replica watches online,other luxury brand replica watches like Breitling, Panerai, Audemars Piguet, Tag Heuer,shipping worldwide.
