Discussing Jaquet Droz watches in the US is almost futile. It isn’t that you can’t find this small Swatch Group brand in the US, but rather that it is extremely rare. I saw my first one in Europe personally. I’ve always liked this brand but haven’t known what to make of it. A lot of their designs are good, but currently they lack direction and leadership as far as I can tell. The last time the brand was really on my radar in any serious way was when Manuel Emch (current CEO of Romain Jerome) was the head honcho over there.

The dial includes the time with subsidiary seconds dial, retrograde day and date, month dial, and a small leap year indicator window. You can see the movement through a rear sapphire caseback window.

Clearly, I have a soft place for contemporary watches which attempt to recreate the imperial artistic density of classic timepiece creations that I fawn within museum settings. Brands like Jaquet Droz have a rich history to pull away from, but in fact, the whole watch industry has literally several hundred decades of amazing designs and artistic techniques to inspire them. Modern tastes and industrial clinics prevent the majority of the historical hand-done artwork for use on today’s watches, but it is nice to know that at least some watches such as the Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Tourbillon Paillonnée attempt to unite modern aesthetic considerations with artistic methods that lots of people can continue to love. I believe Jaquet Droz combines the old and the new together quite well in watches in this way, but they are quite limited in their creation by nature. J013014270 (as you’ll see in a moment, a name that’s a bit ironic). Restricted to only 28 pieces, this is an interestingly decorative version of one of the very simple and tasteful tourbillon watches available.aBlogtoWatch first coated the Jaquet Droz Grande Second Tourbillon here, back in 2012. That makes it sort of “uni-sex,” although this size and style is a favorite in Asia, a place where Jaquet Droz is quite successful. So while the diamonds and mother-of-pearl are a bit feminine for some Western man preferences, I would not move ahead and assume this is a woman’s watch. It is in fact promoted as a men’s design, I believe.
