Let us explain where that disappointment came from. These two watches are to mark the 300th anniversary of Pierre Jaquet-Droz’s birth. We thought that with such an event, it would be the opportunity for the brand to create an outstanding watch. The perfect opportunity to makes something radically new, while highlighting the brand’s know-how.
And yet, we had in front of us some pictures of two simple looking watches. We knew the brand and what it was capable of. Its automatons collection, its skeletons skills, as well as its arts workshops show perfectly its expertise and are very good example of it.
Then we took the time to read the press release as well as exchanging with the brand’s teams, and it made our disappointment vanished.
We celebrate a birth, the starting point of a Human adventure. As a gift we would give to a close one, it has to please and match the person. And that’s exactly what the brand did.
These two exclusive versions are paying a tribute to their creator. The teams have succeeded to make it a match with him. All that makes the brand is right in these watches, and that’s why there are two versions of it.
