At the GTE-2012 Michel Jordi has introduced a new collection Icons of the World. The line consists of eight models, each of which is devoted to the most legendary places of the World: Great Wall of China, India's Taj Mahal, Japan's legendary Mount Fuji, the Brazilian Mount Sugarloaf, Swiss Interlaken with the mountains of the Eiger and the Jungfrau, Geneva with its fountain Jet d'Eau, Statue of Liberty and the Moscow Kremlin. Each unique novelty is released in a limited edition of only 3 items. Today we look at watch Icons of the World, dedicated to Moscow.
The watch mechanism of this model was created by Michel Jordi together with Jean-Francois Mojon from Le Locle (the winner of the "best watchmaker of 2010" by the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix), and the design is developed by Christophe Moines. The main motive of the design is a striking combination of black and red colors. Hour, minute and second hands are shifted to the left of center and located on a small dial made of titanium with Roman numerals. The "10 o’clock” position is occupied by a large window in which there are placed the images of Kremlin towers and the unique St. Basil's Cathedral on the skyline. Time of day for the repeater is displayed with the text on a blue disk at the 2 o’clock position. And the day and night indicator is built right into the image of the Kremlin and the church - the sky above them, depending on time of day gives way to night and day. Central skeletonized hands have the tips with white phosphor compound. The 4 o’clock position is placed by a pointer of the hour and minute for the repeater installation.
But it is unique not only the appearance of men's watch, but also the content. Inside is installed a movement with a manual winding, equipped with a repeater function. The mechanism can be seen through the transparent case back on the four screws. Strike the gong produces a unique sound in frequency of 2 Hz, corresponding to the sound of church bells. Hammer for the bell can be admired at the 6 o’clock position on the skeletonized dial. The mechanism has a power reserve of 65 hours.
The watch is clad in 46-mm case of titanium with elements from red gold. Waterproof of the model is 100 meters. At the 2 o’clock position is the crown, and at the 3 o’clock position is a control lever of the repeater. The watch is delivered on a black leather strap with red backing.
The watch embodies the main slogan of the company - "Innovation in time". Following this motto Jordi in 2004, after a complete failure, re-entered the market and gained the success.

Extraordinary skeleton dial! Each element looks so independent and complete, however, all together they harmonize perfectly! The color decision for a "Russian" watch is great: in Old Slavonic the words "red" (krasniy) and "beautiful" (krasiviy) have the same root. A beautiful watch indeed!
