It is in a tropical atmosphere that Jaquet Droz has presented its new 2018 collection in the heart of Paris. VIP clients and medias made the trip to discover exceptional pieces such as the Signing Machine, a truly unique piece able to reproduce a signature with a masterful stroke of magic and mystery or the Grande Seconde Skelet-One, allowing light to penetrate the depths of the mechanism while preserving the figure “8” shape that is its aesthetic signature. It is in the parisian boutique, located 8 Rue de la Paix, that Mr. Christian Lattmann, CEO of the brand, introduced the guests to the Art of Astonishment that animates each timepiece, and especially the Petite Heure Smalta Clara Tiger, demonstrating exceptional know-how in terms of plique-à-jour enamel.
The “Effinger” clock dated from 1783 and signed Jaquet-Droz, has been sold at CHF 256,000.-, which is more than three times the starting bid of CHF 70,000.-, during the Koller auction on March the 31st 2022.
Jaquet Droz and designer Shirley Zhang unveiled their joint minute repeater watch, alongside its NFT counterpart, at the inaugural Shanghai Jiahe winter auction. A first for both Jaquet Droz and the Shanghai Jiahe auction house.
Jaquet Droz celebrates Chinese New Year for the first time with six unique pieces that pair together, each one taking an artistic approach to represent the Tiger’s iconic attributes.
