Frederic Jouvenot unveils the self-winding INTI
Renowned for his creation of highly unusual timepieces, Frédéric Jouvenot, the CEO of his eponymous Swiss watch manufacture, revisited the iconic timepiece that was named after the Incan sun god: The INTI. Re-launched this year as a limited edition, the INTI is powered by a self-winding movement that features a screw balance, chamfered and polished bridges decorated with Geneva striping, diamond-polished jewel sinks, and a rotor decorated with the depiction of a stepped Incan pyramid. Its distinctive dial presents the twelve Inca pyramids as well as the sunbeams depicted from the centre where the minutes are indicated. With the jumping 24-hour ring, the sunbeams are bright at noon, and turn dark as the evening progresses.
