Horological Meandering

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...  

BRAVO J*D. and thank you for posting

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... 

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... 

My apologies for the thread hijack Cary

thats the suitable discription in my opinion JD may not be horology wise the best company but ART wise they ROCK . Thanks Z3 . Faisal

Some nice watches, I like them. Thank you. Vte

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

Big fan of JD watches. Especially love the new Grande Seconde. Thanks for the great post!

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... 

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 ... 

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...  

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.

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 t...
