The orange dial is framed by a unidirectional rotating bezel. Its bold look is completed with luminescent hands and hour-markers, and hour, minute and seconds counters. The date window is at 6 o'clock.

The watch is secured to the wrist with a 316L steel bracelet with a folding clasp. The timepiece is also created with a silver, black or matchrace dial.

The JeanRichard Paramount Time Square is inspired by the legendary Time Square in New York. The timepiece has an hour display following the lines of a square.

The world premier features the three-pointed red, blue and black rotating hour indicator that advances along the sides of a square, with each point marking the hours in turn. The creation of the trajectory was based on the hypocycloids principle. It united a wheelwork with a set of planetary gears.

The Paramount Time Square is characterized by understated Bauhaus-style lines. The ample black matt dial catches the eye due to the full splendor of the bridges with their sunburst guilloche work, with a smart interplay of symmetrical effects.
