Echoing the refined elegance of the jewellery watches popularised by Jaeger-LeCoultre's iconic Duoplan creations, this vintage Ricoh captures the same harmonious balance between timepiece and adornment.
Its petite square dial is seamlessly integrated into a richly textured bracelet, creating the impression of a single sculptural form rather than a traditional wristwatch. Finished with a delicate vertical brushed texture throughout, the bracelet catches the light with a soft satin sheen, lending depth and character while remaining beautifully understated. The result is a design that feels effortlessly elegant—one that could easily be mistaken for a finely crafted bracelet at first glance.
The minimalist silver dial is framed by a polished bezel and finished with slender baton hour markers and delicate hands, allowing the beautifully proportioned case and bracelet to take centre stage. Beneath the dial beats a 17-jewel manual-wind mechanical movement, offering the quiet satisfaction and craftsmanship that only a hand-wound watch can provide.
Produced during an era when Japanese watchmakers were creating beautifully engineered alternatives to Europe's celebrated jewellery watches, this Ricoh embodies that same spirit of understated luxury. Elegant, timeless and thoughtfully designed, it remains as wearable today as when it was first made.
Condition: The watch remains in beautiful vintage condition with light signs of wear consistent with age. The original brushed finish has been exceptionally well preserved, retaining its crisp texture across the case and bracelet. There are areas of age-related wear to the original 14K gold plating, where a subtle bronze-green patina has developed, adding to the character of the piece without affecting its wearability. The dial remains clean, the crystal presents beautifully, and the watch continues to make a striking impression on the wrist. Watch is working and running well.
