This
isn't the first tourbillon watch by Jaquet Droz, though it is the most elegant.
A simple concept, this Grande Seconde Tourbillon takes the standard figure 8
dial design and inserts a classy looking tourbillon into the seconds dial. The
resulting look is gorgeous.
The
Jaquet Droz Grande Complications Flying Tourbillon "La
Chaux-de-Fonds" in 18kt Rose Gold is truly one of a kind and a certified
collector's item as there are only 11 pieces manufactured.
Jaquet
Droz uses a sapphire crystal case for the tourbillon. A bit similar in style to
a flying tourbillon (but cooler), the tourbillon in this case looks as though
it is floating in air as it revolves around itself.
You
can see the movement through the sapphire crystal exhibition caseback on the
rear of the watch. Thankfully the mechanical movement is an automatic and has a
very attractive 18k rose gold rotor. Further, the in-house made caliber 25JD
movement has a power reserve of a full seven days. The design and decor of the
movement is also quite lovely.
The
Grande Seconde, inspired by the Pocket Watch created by Pierre Jaquet-Droz in
1784, spreads its aegis over the Jaquet Droz brand. It is universally
recognized for the avant-garde lines of its design.
History:
Jaquet
Droz watches have always held high standard both in their intricate mechanical
workmanship and sophisticated design. The ingenious French founder of the
company, Pierre Jaquet-Droz, began attracting the attention of the world with
his production of extraordinary grandfather clocks, complete with music and
automata, in 1738. Partnering with his son, Henry Louis Jaquet-Droz, and
neighbor, Jean-Frédéric Leschot, he created exceptional timepieces and automata
which, by the mid-1770s, were renowned throughout the royal courts of the
civilized world for their unsurpassed revolutionary innovation and elaborate
aesthetics. With the popularity of his masterpieces escalating, Jaquet Droz
opened a second workshop in London’s newly developing commercial district. Soon
his company was represented in China, India and Japan as well. The Jaquet-Drozs
and Leschot then moved to Geneva, opening the city’s first watchmaking
manufacture. By the late 18th century, Jaquet Droz creations were sold and
displayed all through Europe and the Far East.
The
Jaquet Droz brand today creates timepieces reflecting the original Jaquet Droz
style. Exquisite dials made of precious minerals, rare woods, or age-resistant
enamel showcase the intricate and complex movements.
Inspired
by the many travels of its founder, the Jaquet Droz Company designs collections
reflecting the distinctive cultural influences of each region. The Legend
Geneva Collection echoes the elegant and refined style watches Pierre Jaquet
Droz designed in his Geneva workshop. The Grande Seconde design is directly
inspired by the 18th century Jaquet Droz Pocket Watch.
The
Urban London Collection enters the sports realm depicting the boldness and
sense of adventure Pierre Jaquet Droz displayed in his entrepreneurial opening
of a second workshop in the newly developing commercial London. The Grande
Seconde SW and the SW Chronograph combine class and sophistication with sporty
impulsiveness available in enduring titanium, rose gold, rubber treated steel,
ceramic and solid steel.
As
Jaquet Droz traveled, exhibiting his unique mechanical creations with the royal
courts of the civilized world, Beijing emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong,
was riveted by these works of art and proceeded to set up a national office to
import and trade Jaquet Droz’s marvels. A fusion of distinguished creativity
and contemporary functionality is conveyed in the many varying models of the
Majestic Beijing Collection. The Twelve Cities, The Eclipse, The Time Zones and
The Grande Heure all convey a distinctive modern glamour.
The
most ingenious Jaquet Droz mechanical complications developed from Pierre
Jaquet Droz’s original workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds. In the La Chaux De Fonds
Complications Collection, watches like The Chronograph Monopusher, The
Rattrapante, The Tourbillon and The Quantieme Perpetual Eclipse display
complications with a grace and simplistic elegance unique to Jaquet Droz
designs.
In
the course of his journeys, Jaquet Droz made frequent visits to Paris,
presenting his models before Queen Marie-Antoinette of France, thus inspiring
the feminine influence of the Elegance Paris Collection. The diamonds, pearls
and gem stones contribute a soft, feminine touch to the Petite Heure Minute,
The Heure Celeste, The Date and Heure Astrale and The Lady 8 models.
The
legendary luxury decoration of the Jaquet Droz family is reflected in the Les
Ateliers D’Art Collection. Elaborate enamel painted motifs, sculpting,
engraving and paillonne enameling decorate the dials of these exceptional
watches in tribute to the venerable, fame- engendering art of the founders.
