Jordi Icons of the World Watch

With Icons of the World, Michel Jordi pays tribute to some of the world’s most legendary places. One collection, eight places, each issued in a limited edition of three. In cooperation with Jean-François Mojon, Michel Jordi has created an unusual gong-striking mechanism. Instead of the usual vibrations of the caseback, a hammer strikes the gong at a low frequency of 2Hz, reminiscent of the cadence of the ringing of a mountain chapel bell. Christophe Moinat is in charge of the design, of this model, which reflects the signature codes of the Swiss Icon collection, including a sapphire crystal cambered like a pebble from the River Rhône and the cylinder-shaped crown featuring a deconstructed Swiss flag. It is however the day/night indicator that springs the biggest surprise by revealing at 10 o’clock the place or monument that gives its country such an iconic nature. The titanium and red gold case lends the timepiece a final touch of strong character.
