A watch case that has contributed to the buzz surrounding the mechanical model with retro-futuristic looks, because of its height of only 15 mm for 46 mm wide and without a screw-in caseback. The back is actually cut in one piece from a piece of raw aluminum and includes a 20mm deep side chamber to house the caliber.

Member of Impressum, PressTourim and Club Suisse de la Presse, this Ivory Coast-born Swiss, descendant of a family of watchmakers, co-founded the magazines Montres Passion &amp; Uhren Welt at Ringier in 1993 with Kenan Tegin, as well as the Prix Montre de l'Ann\u00e9e. Founded in 2005, his press agency 1876 News (formerly T\u00e0G Press +41T) contributes to some twenty media through a network of around ten journalists or experts. These include Journal Suisse d'Horlogerie (2008-2014), Heure Suisse\/Schweiz and Ann\u00e9e Horlog\u00e8re, F\/D\/E (2011-2014), Watchonista.com (2013-2019). In 2019, he founded and chaired \"JSH Archives &amp; Patrimoine\" to relaunch the Swiss watchmaking journal JSH. Then in 2021, he built on his very first editorial venture, the \"bloghorloger.ch\" established on the web in 2003, to come back online with the Swiss Watch Passport\u00ae (by JSH\u00ae). Jo\u00ebl A. Grandjean is a member of the SSC, the Swiss Society of Chronometry, and of the jury of the Prix Ga\u00efa, aka the \"Nobel of watchmaking\" awarded since 1992 by the MIH, Le Mus\u00e9e International de l'Horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds","sameAs":["https:\/\/grandjean.watch","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/joel.grandjean","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/grandjean.grammson\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/joel-a-grandjean-\u270d-5524357\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/x.com\/tagpress","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@joela.grandjeanprowatchpre906"],"url":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/author\/joel\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13107"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13107\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
