Hi Carol, yes artistic talent continues on the dial
you and I know who is reponsible for the stone dials so J*D cannot claim all the credit.
The Paillonnee dials are all Anita's (perhaps even her daughter's) handiwork. So this dial creation is outsourced too.
They (the people in charge at the brand) need to understand the attraction to J*D that started 10 years ago. This I feel is missing and fear that it may not return.
What happened to the Microrotor movement? Next year perhaps? It has been delayed by 2-3 years now.
What happened to the thought processes that went into last year's Eclipse and GS repeater designs?
Mike

PuristSPro BaselWorld 2011: Live Reporting - Jaquet Droz
PuristSPro BaselWorld 2011 Live Reporting - Jon Z. ( Z3) Jaquet Droz A brand with a strong focus on art and aesthetics, it is always a visual treat to wonder into the Jaquet Droz booth. Pieces in the display Although not focusing on technicality of the mo...
Really cool watches... your pics come up distorted ...
just wondering.. not complaining ( I know how much work it is to load all of these images ) On my screen your pics always look compressed in width. It could be a browser issue but was wondering if anyone else was having an issue. Hate for you to put in al...
Do not click on the "view entire thread" link but the indivdual post link
That will solve your picture problem. Many have complained in the past of the pictures scrolling over to the right side of the screen. Since many people still post oversized pictures, when you click on "view entire thread", all picture widths get automati...
Unique
thats the suitable discription in my opinion JD may not be horology wise the best company but ART wise they ROCK . Thanks Z3 . Faisal
Nice post...
I didnt' know that JD was known for their painting and art on the dials. Very cool pieces! Thank you for your hard work! Is it just me or did JD borrow the case from the MB Timewalker Chrono for the new SW line? Very similar lugs.
Thanks for the post Jon......
JD makes some great watches a lot of the new offerings look really nice. I've really become a big fan of this brand, thanks again for sharing. Tony
Fantastic looking new line up.
Big fan of JD watches. Especially love the new Grande Seconde. Thanks for the great post!
The novelties don't resonate with me, but...
...there is a lot of what I love about J*D on display in this post. There is beauty and presence in the simpler Jaquet Droz designs that really sing to me. Thanks for all the lovely photos! Cheers, Daos
Am I Missing Something?
Hi All, Very nice post, Jon. Your photos were excellent and your focus on the aesthetics of the JD design ethos was very helpful and appreciated. I'm grateful for all of the effort by various Moderators and enthusiasts to provide comprehensive reports and...
Although I didn't respond to the earlier post.......
I didn't agree with most of the negative consensus for the offerings. I think most of their offerings this year look really good, I don't fault JD for trying to mix it up a little bit by added a date to their GS line. I think it looks pretty good, not as ...
Opinion and passion are our founding principles
Jon provided the updated information! I hope you can see that this collegial difference of opinion is the strong reason why PuristSpro and ThePurists continue to be valuable online resources of the community. Aesthetics are always a personal thing. I do l...
I don't like everything I see in Jon's post....which is why I started my previous
message with the word "some." By using the word some I was referring only to the stone dials and the mop dials. The other pieces do not interest me. So, in that regard, Mike, I share your view.
