Interview with CEO Alain Delamuraz

« From 1738 Pierre Jaquet-Droz was such a trailblazer and an innovator with his automatons that he was already disruptive as far as his contemporaries were concerned.

Jaquet Droz - New vision

With Alain Delamuraz at the head of the brand last year, Jaquet Droz has taken a radical turn at all levels of its organization, which is also reflected in a transformation of its offering. While the double figure-8 large seconds dial and the crown motif reflect the DNA of Jaquet Droz, this exceptional timepiece radiates a dramatically different personality.

In addition to its fabulous design, it is distinguished by the world’s first sapphire case composed of only three elements (case middle, case back and bezel), entirely devoid of screws …
