SINCE 1738, A LEGEND IN TIME

Since it was first established in 1738, Jaquet Droz has perpetuated the spirit of innovation and aesthetic refinement of its founder, Pierre Jaquet Droz.
The first watchmaker to set up shop in Geneva, this ingenious inventor and man of uncommon vision conquered the royal courts of Europe and China
with his stunning creations: fabulous humanoid automatons and precious musical watches. Expressing the values of the Age of Enlightenment, this
­elegant and well-travelled philosophy still forms the core of our identity. Jaquet Droz timepieces have always combined design, materials with the most
unexpected mechanical refinements. The most elaborate complications are beautifully showcased with the purity of enamel or the lustre of pearls and
precious stones. The Manufacture’s exclusive spirit is intact after nearly three centuries, as attested by its exquisite dials, made to order from precious
minerals and rare woods, its ultra-select collections and its “numerus clausus” limited editions. At Jaquet Droz, we remain true to our time-honoured
goal, namely, to push back the limits of the watchmaker’s art for your greater pleasure.

Its elegance is a promise of eternity. Never before in the history of watchmaking has boldness of design
been illustrated with such nobility, while conserving the purity that all the Grande Seconde models have
been reasserting for over two hundred years. On a single dial, the hours and minutes counter, off- code n° 1 [ the “figure 8” ] Formed by two subdials on the watch face, this symbol suggests the rarity of limited editions and exclusive models produced in small

or rare minerals, the Grande Seconde represents both prodigious history and the present moment and

oscilling body is visible through the transparent case back.
GRAND FEU ENAMELLING

“Grand feu” enamelling is one of the expert techniques that constitute the signature of a Jaquet Droz code n° 5 [ “grand feu” enamel ] A mysterious kind of alchemy… The secret of “grand feu” enamel – a technique for master craftsmen to obtain a unique grain and
watch. Master dial-makers perform this operation entirely by hand, playing with fine powders and subjecting unalterable beauty – depends at once on the skill of the artisan, the fineness of the powders and the strength of the flame.
them to fire.They alone know the formula to produce these dials, whose colour and texture are absolutely
unique. Now Jaquet Droz is taking a great step forward, deploying the technical supremacy of its art to
enable the use of black, the most intriguing of all colours. It has created Absolute Black, fascinating and
mysterious, in a special process whose secret is well-guarded. The same holds true for “paillonné” enamel.
These watches are masterpieces of decorative art, their gold motifs meticulously hand-applied to “flinqué”
enamel and their chromatic magnificence underscored by the signature blue of the Manufacture.
RING AND BLUED STEEL
Featuring a play on colours, shapes and metals, Jaquet Droz sublimates its dials by enhancing them with
one or several applied gold rings, bevelled, drawn out and entirely screwed down by hand. This distinctive
decoration is further enhanced by the brand signature blue of the Jaquet Droz hands and screws, achieved
by the extremely delicate operation of blueing the steel.The craftsman responsible for this process works
with a hot flame and adapts the heat to the size and thickness of the hand. Thanks to his expertise and his
keen eye, he will succeed in exactly reproducing the Jaquet Droz blue. Any slip of concentration or error
of judgement would ruin it all.
code n° 6 [ blued steel ] At the Manufacture, skilled artisans guard their secret like treasure. Transformed by fire and the art of the craftsmen, the steel turns yellow,
brown and violet before taking on the trademark blue of Jaquet Droz watch hands.
code n° 7 [ hands ] Lancine hands are imposing and tapered. Serpentine hands have a slight wave to their line. But all Jaquet Droz watch hands, no matter what their
design, are key to a personal interpretation of time.
code n° 8 [ ring ] Applied and drawn out with a file, made of gold or steel, the ring secured to the dial with screws enhances its beauty and that of the subdials and
the hands.
NUMERUS CLAUSUS

Throughout the ages, man has contemplated the stars and the most beautiful planet of all – his own – in
an effort to elucidate the mysteries of Time. In honour of this endeavour, begun at the dawn of time, Jaquet code n° 9 [ minerals ] Minerals are like the memory of the Earth and our galaxy. Whether they come from deep within the earth or the far reaches of space, they

that mark each passing moment.This requires intricate teamwork between master cutters and dial-makers,
who create fabulous “numerus clausus” editions limited to 8 or one-of-a-kind timepieces made to custom

MEtEorite Fragments of asteroid, pieces of
comet, lunar rocks, Martian stones. Meteorites
bear all the mystery and stillness of their long ga-
lactic voyage, as well as the most extraordinary
dream of all humanity: to embrace the universe
in its totality and wear the mystery of infinity on
the skin.
Aventurine Very few glassworks still hold
the formula for aventurine. Bursting with crystals
formed in molten glass under the force of fire,
aventurine transforms the dials of our timepie-
ces with its blue-black tint. Forged by the hands of
men and frequently compared to the philosopher’s
stone, aventurine holds the secrets of the jewel-
ler’s alchemy.
rutile Quartz A rock crystal filled with
titanium needles, rutile quartz plays on transpa-
rency and geometry.The stone of truth in Ancient
Greece and an everyday challenge for craftsmen
today, its precious inclusions evoke desire and
passion, hence their evocative name:Venus hairs.
Onyx Nocturnal magic, the mystery of
darkness, the absolute glamour of the colour,
which carries all the others within. Onyx is the
stone of blackness, eminently sensual. In keeping
with its legend, the Greeks saw in it the body of
Venus and considered it the symbol of love – a
myth that still endures. For designers today, onyx
is one of the most evocative emblems in jewel-
lery.
Spectrolite Light blue, clear, red, yellow
or orange, spectrolite boasts a fascinating play of
colours. Always changing and almost rebellious,
yet forever loyal to a single standard: brilliance.
From golden yellow to deep blue, from opaque
to translucent, this gemstone is full of surprises
and asserts its rich personality and unique beauty
with confidence.
Nuumite Forged by volcanoes three billion
years ago and, until now, never used in watchma-
king, nuummite was only discovered in 1982. Very
rare – eight thousand grammes are extracted each
year – and extraordinarily iridescent, its deep black
is adorned with colourful sparkles and its fascinating
wealth of crystals vividly comes to life in the light.
For two decades, nuumite has revived the eternal
mythology of stones.
Petrified dinosaur bone The material
of legends and the last trace of a story dating back
millions of years, petrified dinosaur bone possesses
all the magic of the fairy tales that we tell our
children. The extraction of this fascinating and
mysterious material is relatively recent, however,
with the first petrified bones being aroused from
their long slumber in England in 1677. The dream
was, at last, awoken…
Lapis Lazuli A favourite stone of Renais-
sance painters and an ancient Egyptian symbol
for the night sky, the azure blue of Lapis Lazuli
has always fascinated artists from the greatest
civilisations. Just as its name implies – “stone” in
Latin and “blue” in Arabic – this stone is a mineral
echo of the dialogue between Ancient Rome and
the Oriental influences of the Thousand and One
Nights.
Serpentine The unrivalled sparkle emanating
from the numerous nuances of green is what gives
this gem – often compared to a precious reptile
skin – its name. Originating from Kashmir, Africa,
but also Cornwall, Serpentine has never ceased
to seduce artisan jewellers, who have occasionally
dubbed it “the new jade”, albeit erroneously.
Hawk Eye This stone carries the name of one
of James Fenimore Cooper’s heroes. Luminous
and iridescent, uniform or patterned with streaks
and in bluish or greenish grey, the Hawkeye stone
symbolises wide-open spaces and freedom.
Petrified Algae The history of our planet
comes to life on the dials of Jaquet Droz time-
pieces. Reflecting the very beginnings of life, this
stone gives a silent account of the warm seas that
bathed planet Earth, whose biological richness
and lunar motion still seem to pulse through the
reddish streaks of petrified algae.
Pietersite Unearthed from the arid Namibian
soil, Pietersite features stunning nuances of blue
intermingled with light or dark veins. This gem
bears the fascinating likeness of a river estuary,
where the age-old mingling of waters opens its
horizon onto the infinity of the ocean.

hundred and fifty years, its timepieces have set the standard for luxury watches as well as fine jewellery.
That this tradition is alive and well is obvious in the dial ring set with pearls or rubies or the gem-studded
bezel and horns adorning the Grande Seconde, a subtle allusion to the handsome pocket watches worn
by 18th-century men of fashion. The art of the setter reaches its apogee in the spectacular dials of the
Fleur du Temps models… in the gleam of gold, the fire of diamonds, the deep purple-reds of rubies or
spessartines as well as in flawlessly cut sapphires and emeralds, each more rare and splendid than the next.
THE WATCH CASE

At Jaquet Droz, a watch case is like a treasure chest full of mechanical wonders to track time. The code n° 12 [ watch case ] Knowing that each watch case is freighted with dreams and aspirations, Jaquet Droz has treated it with special care. Starting with its
smooth-polished case used for the Grande Seconde Marine recalls the portholes of 19th-century ships. sensuous curves and contours of gold, steel or ceramic…
Handsomely curved and perfectly sized, it was carefully conceived to contain remarkable movements.This
design expresses choices, desires and yearnings in the strength of steel, the majestic gleam of white or red
gold and the unalterable elegance of the ceramic material. The Manufacture believes that each watchcase
is absolutely essential, whether it has a screw-type back or comes in one piece. Each one undergoes no
fewer than 80 different operations.That’s why Jaquet Droz prizes the hands of its master craftsmen above
any manufacturing tool.
 code n° 13 [ complications ] Stretching the limits of watch making to the frontiers of the impossible is part of the Jaquet Droz philosophy.That’s why the brand strives

Les Collections
HOMMAGE GENEVE 1784

Representing a bridge between the Age of Enlightenment and the third millennium, the “Hommage Genève 1784” Collection by Jaquet Droz evokes the union of
Haute Horlogerie and poetry, contemporary aesthetics and timeless appeal. Directly inspired by an 18th-century pocket-watch, the “Hommage Genève 1784”
Collection is a reference to the luxurious and refined models created by Pierre Jaquet Droz in his third watchmaking workshop, opened in Geneva in
1784. In choosing this location, Pierre Jaquet Droz displayed a pioneering spirit, since his manufactory was the first ever organised in this city.

promise, this incarnation of the immediate future is produced in a “numerus clausus” of 88 models with
two distinct watch faces: a legendary and elegantly refined dial in ivory-coloured “grand feu” enamelling
and a sporty, decidedly contemporary opaline dial with just a hint of red.

No two identical beings exist: for Jaquet Droz, the essence of each individual is a source of wonder,

uniqueness. This timepiece is also the fruit of a seemingly unbelievable vision: to live time differently and
to appreciate it in a new light, guided only by the elegantly tapered and blued-steel unique indicator. This
piece offers a new way of finding one’s bearings in the perception of a unique moment…and of taking full
advantage of it.

the hour-minute indicator off-centre at 12 o’clock, Jaquet Droz merges functionality with the promise of
infinite possibilities. Those of “grand feu” enamelling, whose singular grain and unique colour - both are
workshop secrets - provide a magical surface for the application of numerals. Those of silvered subdials
where onyx contributes enigmatic elegance, spectrolite offers shifting colours and delicate rings outline

HOMMAGE LONDRES 1774

When Pierre Jaquet Droz opened his second complete watchmaking workshop in London, he provided a striking demonstration of his strategic audacity
and his far-reaching vision. In the Age of Enlightenment, London was the commercial decision-making heart of Europe, the key business centre and the point
of departure to remote destinations. It was from London that the Jaquet Droz models, made in this city, were to set off for Russia, Japan, China and Turkey.
Jaquet Droz therefore dedicates its “Hommage Londres 1774” Collection to distinctive, urban and cosmopolitan watches with an elegant, edgy charm.
GRANDE HEURE MINUTE

Jaquet Droz is introducing an original and distinctive watch with a steel case. Better still, the Manufacture
of Haute Horlogerie is taking the liberty of issuing it in a “numerus clausus” limited to just 88. The other
fundamental features of Jaquet Droz models are all present: Lancine-type hands in blued steel, smooth-
polished rounded case with a diameter of 43 mm or 41 mm, engraved case, and domed crystal.The secret
brand signature (a clover leaf) is also engraved on the movement, and the oscillating weight features the
famous sunray motif, whereas the bridges and plates are adorned with the “Côtes de Genève” pattern.

In its timepiece L’Origine, Jaquet Droz transcends the common perception of history with vision,
transforming heritage and tradition into a consummate expression of modernity. With its contemporary
lines and crafted volumes set off by clever light effects, L’Origine epitomizes the Manufacture’s talent
for taking the best from each time period. It is a shared privilege, for this is the first steel Jaquet Droz
timepiece available in a non-limited edition with centered hours, minutes and seconds hands. Even so, the
watch retains its unmistakeable spirit of exclusivity.

HOMMAGE LA CHAUX-DE-FONDS 1738

As the creator of watches, clocks and automatons that were universally recognised for their elegance and finesse, Pierre Jaquet Droz succeeded in
making people forget about the phenomenal complexity of the mechanisms and movements required to actually run his masterpieces. It was in his
first workshop that Pierre Jaquet Droz began to specialise in the production and export of timekeepers endowed with “Grandes Complications” such
as a piece of music, a songbird, or a mechanism striking “en passant” or automatically… The workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds excelled in all fields of
mechanical ingenuity. The “Hommage La Chaux-de-Fonds 1738” Collection is dedicated to “Grandes Complications” specialities.
LES DEUX FUSEAUX

The complication known as Les Deux Fuseaux displays the reference time on the off-centered hour and
minute counter at 12 o’clock, along with the 24-hour counter. Then comes the subtle appearance of the
“other” time, time to see a loved one again, the local time (or GMT time) with its central hour and minute
indication. In harmony with the Jaquet Droz spirit, the seconds are clearly displayed at 6 o’clock and,
to complete the picture, a window at 3 o’clock indicates the date of local time (GMT date).

With its off-centered dials, bold lines and perfectly engineered mechanisms, Les Longitudes pays homage to
Manufacture Jaquet Droz, founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1738. Expressing the creativity and technical
virtuosity of the master watchmaker, this majestic timepiece is a poem to time and space. An ode to here
and elsewhere, recited in Roman numerals on the first longitude indicator at 3 o’clock and in Arabic numerals
on the dial opposite.The spectacular minutes hand incessantly sweeps its centred dial, maintaining a playful
tension with the serpentine date hand, very different in size and shape. Set off by a large, handsome
18-carat white gold case, Les Longitudes is poetry in motion.

LES LUNES

A complete calendar model, Les Lunes is equipped with a world première in the shape of a retrograde
moon-phase mechanism. It enables a display of the lunar cycle, interpreted as never before by a return
to the point of departure once a lunar cycle is completed (every 29.5 days). The blued steel Lancine type
hands indicate the hours, the minutes and the current period of lunation. The blued steel crescent-shaped
hand shows the date around the rim of the dial, while the day and month appear in a large aperture.

CHRONO GRANDE DATE

To grasp the power of each second and to measure oneself by the time that passes: these are the dual
aspirations that inspired the craftsmen of the Manufacture at La Chaux-de-Fonds to design this sporty
chronograph – the Chrono Grande Date – in no less than four versions, playing on the virility of steel, the
subtlety of red gold, the elegance of opaline black or the unique texture of “grand feu” enamelling. Yet
beneath the distinguished design of these exteriors, the movement pulses with each instant, combining
form and content in an unprecedented example of watchmaking poetry.

CHRONO MONOPOUSSOIR

Powerful and masculine, the Chrono Monopoussoir is the world’s first single pushbutton chronograph to
feature an hour counter and hour-minute indication that are both off-centered. Supported by an extremely
powerful dial design on which only the chronograph seconds hand runs from the centre, the column-wheel
Chrono Monopoussoir features chronograph functions that are all controlled by a single pushbutton set
into the crown.

QUANTIEME PERPETUEL

The Quantième Perpétuel by Jaquet Droz is a full-fledged horological masterpiece. The interplay of the
blued steel hands is particularly representative of this keen sense of melding Haute Horlogerie with
poetry. The serpentine hands are reserved for the Calendar functions – months, days and date – with a
double-retrograde indication of the day and date; while the Lancine-type hands are dedicated to the Time
functions – central hour and minute indication and large seconds subdial at 6 o’clock.

LES GRANDES COMPLICATIONS

“Grandes Complications” are the signature of watchmaking masterpieces. What could be more natural
than to find them in luxury watches by Jaquet Droz, whose beauty is only rivalled by their technical
virtuosity. Starting with the elegant design of its Tourbillon, available in a “numerus clausus” edition of 28.
Jaquet Droz offers an additional outstanding complication – a minute repeater with a two-tone striking
mechanism on request – in a limited edition of 8. Orchestrated with delicacy, musical chimes sound every
quarter-hour in succession. It takes the genius of master craftsmen to make this major complication work:
at regular intervals, tiny hammers strike bells inside the watchcase. As for the Equation of Time, a blued-
steel hand tipped with a sun motif indicates the difference between true solar time and mean solar time.
In this fabulous creation, human craftsmanship enters into a dialogue with galactic forces.

HOMMAGE PARIS 1785

A cultural and intellectual bastion central to 18th-century history, Paris has always held pride of place for our Manufacture. During the Enlightenment, its
founder Jaquet Droz frequently visited Paris, where he presented his models to Marie-Antoinette, queen of France. Designated the capital of femininity,
art and fashion, the city has been famous ever since for its jewellery watches, set with precious stones or pearls. Mysterious and enchanting, the “Hom-
mage Paris 1785” Collection represents yet another milestone in our unrelenting quest to push back the limits of Beauty.
L’HEURE ASTRALE

This timepiece is a dream in black or white and is even set with diamonds and other gems. Dazzling and
feminine, L’Heure Astrale immediately projects both the radiance of its design and the purity of its shapes
in a subtle asymmetry that is characteristic of Jaquet Droz. Showcasing an exquisite round case in 18-carat
white gold, brilliantly sparkling precious stones and delicately shimmering lacquer, L’Heure Astrale is
produced in a “numerus clausus” of 8 or 88 models only. This ode to femininity is a privilege reserved
for the most fortunate.

Inside its 39 mm steel watchcase, the Date Astrale makes a statement in mechanical perfection infused with
celestial magic. It boasts a complication marked by a diamond and a dial dedicated to solar splendour.With
its pointer-type retrograde date display, this timepiece is beautiful to behold, with its off-centered hours
and minutes subdial at two o’clock and its elegantly curved date window. Each month, without fail, this
timepiece faithfully renews Time’s bright promise.
