Collection
RayStantzPhD's enduring appreciation for his Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Skelet-One offers a window into the unique allure of skeletonized timepieces. His personal experience highlights the lasting satisfaction a collector can find in a watch that perfectly balances intricate design with horological artistry. This thread explores not only the watch's aesthetic appeal but also the brand's evolving market strategy, providing valuable context for collectors.
Not sure what the strategy of JD is now, but I fear they no longer produce „contemporary“ models…
custom watches and no longer anything on spec. No idea whether it is the case.
I promised my wife to return to Paris some day but after the pandemic we were a bit busy and now... it happened that we expect to be parents end of February 👶 So it could take a bit of time OR another forum meeting in central Europe 😁
... around 100 watches per year, custom made within their watch / automaton range (colors, materials, micro paintings...). Delivered individually and before that, every customer can interact and connect also virtually with the atelier. Given that I myself am not a billionaire, I am even more happy to have bought this watch at the right time as it wasn't sold for too long! Cheers, Alex
I'd definitely love seeing this one in person.... All the best, Filip
We are going to see less of JD the way Swatch is now positioning the brand. Glad I have the Grande Seconde in ceramic.
