A successful businessman, author, meteorologist, and clockmaker, Jean Romilly
rose from the life of a poor immigrant to an economic position often described
as "close to opulence when the [French] Revolution occurred." Also often
described as a clever and very successful watch maker who made multiple advances
in Horology, Jean Romilly specialized in producing movements for watches,
usually set in fine cases made by the most sought after case designers in Paris
at the time.
Though, Romilly's most notable contribution to the watch making world was the
creation of the "seconde morte" or independent seconds. Watchmakers in the past
had made great efforts to transform the continuous motion of the seconds hand
into one second steps, but it was Romilly whom finally accomplished this in
1755. A secondary feature of this mechanism allows the seconds hand to be
stopped independently while the hour and minute hands keep running.
This man of many talents is once again recognized in this new millennium by
means of this elegant automatic watch collection. Each timepiece is given an
aristocratic feel by means of exquisitely textured stainless steel cases,
stitched genuine leather straps, and cultivated folding buckles that provide a
more personalized fit for any gentleman's wrist.
Indulge yourself in the classic style of Romilly.
** The Romilly Comparative Retail Ticket Price range ($1000-$1495)
comes from contrasting this watch with similar products offered by major watch
retailers. In this instance, "similar" product means comparable watch design,
functionality, finish, and accurate component fit. With regard to watch
components in particular, similar products will have comparable quality dials,
casings, crystals, bracelets and movements to the watch models in this
collection. In the instance of the Romilly watch in this listing, major watch retailers have offered similar product at Retail Ticket Prices ranging from $1000 to $1495.
The Watch Industry calculates MSRP/Compare at Value as a multiple of the watch's wholesale selling price, sometimes referred to as Keystone pricing. Underlying product design and component quality, distribution method, advertising strategies (both direct and cooperative), sales commissions and target gross margin combine to affect wholesale price calculations.
Watches marketed via traditional business models might require a double, triple, or even higher Keystone pricing strategy to reach the targeted ticket price. This would then allow for retailers to offer incremental discounts to stimulate sales without dramatically affecting a brand's retail price image.
The majority of our Romilly watch auctions start at $1.00 with no reserves.
