Yonger & Bresson , the prestigious line of automatic watches completely Fabriqué en France, was born in 1647 in the Pontalier district, one of the most active French centers in the art of watchmaking, when Jean Bole, forerunner of the current President of the French Maison, purchased the Château de Morteau with the dream of creating a watchmaking workshop and school.
Tradition, innovation and the pursuit of excellence are values that have always been inherent in the brand which, throughout its history, has constantly moved towards continuous evolution. It was 2011 when, in the prestigious setting of Baselworld, Pascal Bole, the heir to the Bole dynasty, presented the new Ambre self-winding mechanical movement entirely designed, developed and assembled in the Group's laboratories in Morteau.
Today, each watch in the Yonger & Bresson collection features this exclusive manufacture movement, Cetehor certified and guaranteed for 5 years.
All models have traditional finishes, sober and elegant lines, which become sporty thanks to the use of materials such as rubber. And the details enhance the details. The window on the dial and the transparent caseback allow the movement to be admired, the disc with moving calendar, the cases with large diameters and the choice of classic, yet characterful colours, personalize the dials and straps.
To meet the needs of a wider audience, the Yonger & Bresson collection is also completed with a line of quartz watches with an ultra-thin, refined and contemporary design.
THE AMBER MOVEMENT, TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The new Ambre movement is equipped with an oscillating weight mounted on a bidirectional rotating case, which allows for rapid winding of the mainspring. It has a power reserve of 45 hours. The oscillating weight, treated with a black PVD process and personalized with the Yonger & Bresson logo, is visible through the transparent case back. On the dial you can see the main plate.
The precision of the movement is guaranteed by a self-regulating oscillating mass which has a frequency of 28,800 rotations per hour. Made with 31 jewels, two of which are located at the end of the barrel wheel: a technical choice intended to reduce the friction of the mechanical elements.
The crown allows for rapid date changes and activates the stop second: by acting directly on the balance wheel it immediately stops the movement.
The new Ambre movement is highly reliable. This is demonstrated by passing the "Guillotine" test, so called because, to test its resistance, it subjects the movement to a series of shocks to the sides.
