JB200 Marégraphe
a tribute to the octopus and the spirit of marseille
The highly anticipated new creation from the watchmaking house Jacques Bianchi Marseille has finally been unveiled. Now powered by a Swiss automatic movement, the JB200 POULPRO features an octopus on its dial, replacing the historical diver of the first models launched in 2021, which enjoyed immense success. This new version, available in “Encre de Seiche” black and “Mediterranean” blue, pays homage to one of the most enigmatic and intelligent marine creatures. An animal of raw beauty that has always been part of the cultural, maritime, and gastronomic history of Marseille.

Two years after the resounding success of its relaunch, the JB200 is back in the spotlight. Paying homage to its ancestor, which was once issued to the French Navy in the 1980s, the new JB200 retains the attributes that shaped its personality: left-sided crown, water resistance up to 200 meters, 42 mm diameter case, and unmatched “tool watch” look.

MODEL FEATURES
LA JB200 MARÉGRAPHE
LE MARÉGRAPHE : UN SYMBOLE DE LA MESURE ET DE L'HISTOIRE
La montre JB 200 Marégraphe rend hommage à l'héritage maritime de Marseille avec son fond gravé du bâtiment historique du Marégraphe. Érigé en 1883, le Marégraphe de Marseille est bien plus qu'un simple instrument de mesure; c'est un monument historique, témoin des avancées technologiques et scientifiques. Sa fonction d’observatoire du niveau de la mer, en particulier dans le contexte du réchauffement climatique, est cruciale. Les données recueillies depuis la fin du 19ème siècle ont permis de constater une élévation du niveau des mers de 18 centimètres, soulignant l’importance de la conservation et de l’étude de ces mesures.
captivating imagination
The octopus, along with its distant cephalopod cousins such as the octopus, squid, and cuttlefish, has long captivated the imagination of artists, writers, and filmmakers, not only in Marseille but beyond. From ancient mythological tales to the grand adventures of classic literature, this marine creature, capable of changing colors in a tenth of a second or slipping into tiny rock cavities, has inspired numerous artistic and literary works over the centuries.

Over time, the octopus has become a subject of inquiry for scientists worldwide, fueling the collective imagination around this enigmatic creature, which is both real and dreamlike.
Beyond its marine symbolism, the octopus also holds a significant presence in Marseille’s art, culture, fashion, and gastronomy. It is depicted in contemporary artworks, sculptures, and murals that adorn the city’s streets. In old Provençal, a octopus was called a “póulpro,” which was later named “póurpre” due to Spanish and Italian linguistic influences.
