As a part of the world tour, on June 8th Jaquet Droz presented Basel Novelties in Hanoi together with the local partner Sam&Sassy Knightsbridge.
The main highlights of the collection were the new horological masterpiece – the Grande Seconde Skelet-One and the fresh member of the Automaton family – the Tropical Bird Repeater that was displayed in a special showcase generously decorated with tropical flowers and palm leaves.
The guests of the event had the possibility to go deeper into technical details of the complications with the help of the watch expert from Singapore Alvin Wong - the Editor-in-Chief of Crown Magazine.
Dance performance and fruit cocktails inspired by the Tropical Bird Repeater contributed to the tropical atmosphere of the evening.
“Some watches tell time, some tell a story”
The brand is shining the spotlight on its Ateliers d’Art by featuring four variations of its Petite Heure Minute watch that celebrate the sign of the Rat. This animal thus marks the start of a new cycle in the Chinese calendar.
In November 2019, Jaquet Droz has specially invited guests to participate in tours where they have been able to experience microscopically painted ‘art workshops’ and have personally been able to design their own, unique watch faces under the guidance of a Swiss expert in the microscopic painting of enamel.
Jaquet Droz and Johnson Watch Company invited around 50 VIP guests to a special cocktail in New Delhi, India.
