Jaquet-Droz

Embodying the Jaquet Droz signature, time loses itself in the infinite space of the luminous grand feu enamelled ivory-coloured dial. The slender blued steel hands count off the minutes in the centre, hours at 3 o’clock, seconds at 6 o’clock, 24 hours at 9 o’clock and the date at 12 o’clock. The case is in 18-carat white gold, as is the pin buckle securing the black alligator leather strap. This line stems from the Hommage La Chaux-de-Fonds 1738 collection, reminding connoisseurs that it was in this city that the founder of the Manufacture, Pierre Jaquet Droz, developed the automatons that were to carry his reputation well beyond Swiss borders. from.http://www.swiss-watchmaking-year.com/watches/index.cfm
