Nice photos!

Is this the store in Ginza with the gigantic elevators?

Those are actually really interesting watches. Good job Jaquet Droz! The problem is the biggest competitor is right down the street (or probably in the same building). The Breguet Reine de Naples is a successful incumbent.

Great photos KIH! My favorite is the one that has the pearl on top. The fact that the stone/pearl rolls is interesting.

Thanks for posting!

Finally, Jaquet Droz Basel 2013 Novelty "Lady 8" came to Japan and they kindly invited me to take a look as long as I wanted. J*D is apparently shifting more to Lady's line and I personally think that it is a smart move, considering its specialty for the ...

You had me going at first as I thought the first series of pictures where wax prototypes or something until I realized it was confectionery . Looked pretty and made me hungry. I also did not notice the typical LE count. 1 0f 88 etc.. What are the quantiti...

I'm sure under various light the dial will be a sight to hold! I guess the enamel models will follow soon? Since JD is famous for that.

That would be a fantastic idea! I am sure there will be..

Big Stone Rolling Jaquet Droz watches

KIH, That is a surprise but quite logical that J*D focuses on ladies watches in future. Their style and dial decoration is more suited today for ladies. In the 18th and 19th century, men wore the fancy jewels. I should be a 19th century man as I like the ...
