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 movement, Jaquet Droz t has produced some of the most inspirational miniature paintings and exotic stone dials in the watch world.
An artisan is set up at the booth, performing miniature painting on the dial.
(I asked him how he can concentrate with all the commotions, he told me that the thing that drives him crazy is the repeating theme music every 5 minutes=)
Here are the novelties
The new SW line
The new automatic tourbillon
Check out these intricate patterns on the mother of pearl dials!
This is the most visually striking piece, in my opinion. Paying homage to Jaquet Droz's singing bird clock (on display at the Patek Museum), this year they introduced a piece with a 3D bird relief sculpture on the dial in 18K white gold. The crystal is domed to accommodate the height.
Some wonderful natural stone dials.
Some Pieces Unique that are already sold. A rare treat.
Some of the miniature paitinings.
Hope you have enjoyed this visually satisfying journey with me.
Yours Truly,
Jon (Z3)
