Yes they will
Mine is currently in Switzerland, for a little correction and an engraving.
The new CEO considers the now discontinued models 'already as collector pieces'... they will take care of them. Of course this takes for granted that he will succeed in raising the value and recognition of the brand, both in scope and magnitude, as planned. J*D offered to buy back all the pieces as the retailers have to remove Jaquet Droz by the end of the year, but most of them insisted and wanted to sell the remaining stock pieces themselves. Service contact is then local SWATCH center directly and not a store anymore.
It was quiet long time, but they are not dead. They are implementing a lot of things that help with the 6-figure-prices... for example video conferencing systems at the artists / watchmakers benches. The customer will not only be able interact with a sales person, but with the CEO and with the craftsmen that paint his/her micropainting or engrave their one-off 3D sculpture.
The recent press release date for the astonishing Dragon Automaton exactly one day (!) before the global launch of the LOTR series at Amazon Prime was also not randomly chosen.

Understated beauty…
It is a bit sad, but they had to do something. No one knew them, even with just a couple of thousand watches in production this was borderline.
Great Catch .
That is a beautiful watch!
I didn't realize JD had stopped most production.
Yes they will
This is great to hear, and thank you for the information.
Concerning the publication...
