Rousseau Automatic Multi-Function Gents Watch

 Rousseau Automatic Multi-Function Gents Watch

Offering a vivid chronicle of its own, this Rousseau watch is tailored with five individual complications upon its beautifulebony dial. Each region of the round dial exhibits just a fraction of timekeeping elegance while encircled by slim Roman numerals. Breguet style hour and minute hands gradually rotate within a heavy, surgical stainless steel case while an equally broad leather strap manages to enclose with special care taken for larger wrist sizes.

One of the oldest watches bearing a signature from a Geneva Master Watchmaker lies in the Cluny Museum, Paris, France. The signature is that of Jean Rousseau engraved upon the case of a watch taking the form of Death's Head. In engraving his signature upon such a startling creation, perhaps Rousseau cheated mortality somewhat. Less romantic is the notion that years of making timepieces must have agreed with him, for he lived to be an old man of nearly 80, from 1606 to 1684.

Whether or not one cares to read a mystery into Jean Rousseau's legacy, the truth of the matter is he is quite immortal. Mortality, however, was not cheated. Immortality was earned.

And so, today the Rousseau family of watches carries on as immortal as time itself, as memorable as the genius-family of watchmakers. These timepieces carry the spirit of their namesake with movements as smooth as the heavens with a polished glacial finish, and as sturdy and firm as the mountains surrounding a Swiss village.
