Overview
A French marque from Marseille. Jacques Bianchi was a Marseille watchmaker whose workshop near the Vieux-Port serviced professional divers' watches before he put his own name on one, the JB200. The brand's own line label dates that watch to 1980 while editorial coverage cites 1982, so no single founding year is recorded here. The marque lapsed and was relaunched in 2021 by Fabrice Pougez and Simo Tber, reissuing the JB200 (200 m) and JB300 (300 m). The Italian surname belongs to the founder, not to the brand's origin — the watches are Marseille-born, and the vintage JB200 ran a France Ébauches quartz caliber.
