Jean Dunand was founded in 2003 by Thierry Oulevay and renowned watch master Christophe Claret. They both share a fascination for the Swiss-born artist Jean Dunand of the Art Deco period, thus naming their brand in his honour. Jean Dunand Piece Uniques offers distinctive masterpiece of haute horlogerie comprising high craftsmanship, simple geometries and innovative mechanicals. The main features of the present Tourbillon Orbital are the one minute flying tourbillon that orbits the dial once per hour on a patented revolving movement, a power reserve indicator in the band and moon phases on the case back. It is confirmed that combined rotation of the tourbillon and the movement significantly improves the stability rate of the watch. Christophe Claret spent two years resolving the challenge of winding and setting a constantly revolving movement and mainspring barrel with an innovative folding key set vertically into the movement's central axis that both winds the mainspring and sets the time.
