Marc Jenni presents his Prologue and JJJ collections
People · · by Christian Bissener
Marc Jenni’s two collections, the Prologue and the JJJ, in the maker’s own words.
Prologue
The Prologue has a black ring that rotates around the entire case. All three basic functions of a normal crown are reached with the selector on the case at four o’clock. Pure lines, aesthetic simplicity and mechanical ingenuity are how it has been described since it first appeared. It comes in rose or white gold, 44 mm in diameter.
JJJ
Inspired by signs and symbols, the JJJ recalls the planets associated with the days of the week, an indication Marc Jenni found on the watches of Johann Jakob Jenny, the oldest known ancestor of the Jenni family, who practised watchmaking around 1780 in Glarus, Switzerland. It too comes in rose or white gold, 44 mm in diameter.
