Once the hour hand reaches the end of its quarter, it hands timekeeping duties to its neighbour before dutifully snapping back to the start, where it waits patiently for another nine hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Design.\u003c\/strong\u003e The watch surrounding the complication is equally noteworthy. Like its shell-shaped Sectora Retrograde sibling, the Quarta wears its Art Deco influences proudly. The stepped, ziggurat case shape and geometrically busy but perfectly symmetrical dial give the watch an old-school charm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe End. \u003c\/strong\u003eJean d’Eve ultimately closed its doors in 2017, but its retrograde watches defiantly remain as part of the modern horological zeitgeist - with the Quarta proudly standing out as perhaps the most unusual one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e In great condition overall.
