Marc Jenni working on the production of the Prologue

[Ernie Romers]

Marc sent me a link under which you can watch his most recent video. It shows how he's working on the production of the Prologue (in fact he's working on a tool to fix the movement onto a CNC machine). Enjoy:



Some background:

Thanks to the AHCI I was able to present my first creation at Baselworld 2010. Many books begin their stories with a prologue. I decided to begin my story with the « Prologue » watch. It took almost two years to go from a passionate idea to a finished product. The « Prologue » is equipped with a black ring that rotates around the entire watch case. All three basic functions of a normal crown-function are easily accessible by the selector located on the case at four o’clock. Pure and authentic lines, aesthetic simplicity and mechanical ingenuity; this is how the « Prologue » has been described since its appearance.
