Wednesday November 15, 2017, Australia hosted an exceptional event that brought together the three prestigious Houses of Jaquet Droz, Breguet and Blancpain. In collaboration with Mr. Bani McSpedden, watch editor of the magazine “Australian Financial Review”, their executives talked about the fabulous heritage they are representing, before discussing watchmaking in general.
This evening took place in the presence of collectors all united by a common passion for high watchmaking, who then had the privilege to interact with the brand’s representatives.
“Some watches tell time, some tell a story”
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.
