You have no items in your shopping cart.
Watches with automatons, gold filigree work, and detailed enamel painting just popped up and flashed right in front of my eyes with a mere mention of this word.
Jaquet Droz might appear as an ultra-traditional watch brand for you, or you might just think it is about making a watch fancier and more detailed, and that's it.
But that is not all. Jaquet Droz is a lot bigger than this.
I mean take a look at The Grande Seconde Moon Onyx.
With the brand's famous silhouettes, and rendering which has been done in a very modern way, this watch is a revolution in the world of timepieces. A stainless steel case and an onyx dial enable Jaquet Droz to claim a bigger position than being just an ultra-traditional brand. This clearly tells that Jaquet Droz is not only a luxury watch brand. It's a lot more than that. Let's know more about it in this article.
Pierre Jaquet-Droz was born in 1721, on a farm in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Having a strong fondness for clock making and timepieces, he learnt about clock making and precision mechanics from older relatives of the Brandt-dit-Grieurin, Sandoz, and Robert families. Their coaching and guidance became a true revelation for him in establishing a reliable timepiece brand. For 9 years, Pierre Jaquet-Droz devoted himself completely to clock making, to perfect the art of making timepieces.
The introduction of series of longcase or grandfather clocks became highly popular among masses because of the sophisticated movements and the outclass craftsmanship. His skill & dexterity along with attention to detail and professionalism led him to enrich watchmaking by inculcating music and automata.
His novel and unique idea attained popularity quite quickly. Pierre's creations were noticed by the elite and affluent circle,who became his regular clients within no time.
