Minimalism isn’t a quality that immediately springs to mind when you think of Jaquet Droz. But while its fancy automata and complex enameling are definitely hallmarks of this brand, Jaquet Droz Bird Watch Replica has a more restrained side also. The new Grande Seconde Quantieme Ivory Enamel is the latest take on the pared-down layout that premiered in 2011. It is a study in why less, so often, is more.The star of this show with this watch is your dual-technique enamel dial. The main ivory white floor is created with grand feu enamel — grand feu means “large fire” in French and grand feu enamel is layered and then fired at temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius. While most brands would then use ink or lacquer to add the black and red markers to the tooth, Jaquet Droz decided to go the more difficult path, layering petit feu enamel — “little flame,” baked at a lower temperature — thus the colour is actually a part of the dial itself, not something added at the top. This means the dial will keep that stark contrast between creamy white and inky black forever.You can see here how amazing the implementation of this enamel is. This is extremely hard to achieve, particularly when you add the multiple depths to the mix. The big seconds register and date register make up the bottom of the figure-eight motif and the latter is countersunk just a tiny bit. The Roman numerals used for the hours/minutes contrast nicely with the casual Arabic numerals used below. Overall, the dial utilizes lots of subtle contrasts to make a look that’s harmonious but not without tension.
