To be clear, they didn’t invent the retrograde complication as that honour supposedly belongs to German watchmaker, Hans Buschmann, in 1650, but Jean d’Eve’s impact on the modern market cannot be ignored. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Movement.\u003c\/strong\u003e Released in 1989, the Sectora retrograde watch was the result of modular design. Rather than developing a wholly in-house movement, the team at Jean d’Eve aimed for a more universal approach, and created a retrograde module that could sit atop an existing movement. Originally launched as module for quartz movements, Jean d’Eve successfully tweaked it to be compatible with automatic watches, and with that breakthrough came the launch Automatic Sectora II - the watch on offer today. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Module.\u003c\/strong\u003e By adding a retrograde module to an ETA, Jean d’Eve gained agility. They could deploy the complication across different case shapes, sizes, and price points - something that would have been prohibitively expensive if done in-house. More recently, Lotec and Xeric reached the same conclusion, with both opting to use a Miyota as their base movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Design.\u003c\/strong\u003e Design-wise, the case shape and ridged bezel echo the shell motifs commonly seen in Art Deco. The unusual form lends itself perfectly to the double retrograde dial layout. The flower petal that wraps around the bottom of the case, designed to hide the pinion on which the hands sit, only adds to the immediately recognisable Jean d’Eve look.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e In great condition overall.
