I just like saying…

…’numerus clausus.’ Makes me feel like a Roman emperor : )

Ha ha! That is how it is traditionally used!

Actually this version only has 6 instead of 8 made, I believe so even more rare😂

Everything sounds better in Latin...

...take 'Biggus Dickus' for example : )

I wrote in a post Jaquet Droz, and you have your Jaquet Droz in rotation after a long time of pause. 8, what Nicolas said, we must chat more frequent about Jaquet Droz watches.

Always want an enamel dial

Beautiful

What a fantastic and unique dial !

The enamel carries it over the top ! This reference with Chinese numerals links JD’s rich history with China 🇨🇳. In general, JD to me is a very interesting brand with lots of historical milestones, especially on automatons ! What year was this version mad... 

Thanks very much! JD and China go way back😁!

I got this in 2005. I saw it at an AD. JD made their watches in limited runs of usually 88 pieces and sometimes in 8 pieces such as mine. Though I remember reading somewhere that for this Chinois Decentree version, only 6 were made.

Oh wow.

 By: hmd4m : March 7th, 2022-23:46
But now after years big and bigger watch trends , that sensation is less both on the eyes and on the wrist😀. I’ve changed. I guess

You're welcome, and thank you for sharing these thoughts. I appreciate it.

I've watched some useful hands-on reviews, and see that the lugs drop quite abruptly and that the case is of a good thickness. This suggests that the three dimensions and heft are well-suited for a watch of this size as I see it. In terms of references, t...
