Jaquet Droz - Grande Seconde SW Steel-Rubber

Jaquet Droz

The story of  Pierre Jaquet Droz and his sons is one of the most moving in the history of Horology.
Born in 1721, Pierre Jaquet Droz, master of time in the Age of Enlightenment - mechanical genius, avant-garde creator of jewelry watchmaking, and composer of poetry and dreams - is one of the most fascinating figures of the period.

Three centuries later, the success of Jaquet Droz is undeniable; the Manufacture, acquired by the Swatch Group in 2000, is resolutely positioned within the prestige and luxury segment of the Swatch Group.

 Marc A. Hayek, President, with a steering committee, has set himself the mission of cultivating this spirit of excellence and innovation while continuing to communicate emotional and poetical values. The link between the Age of Enlightenment and the third Millennium is therefore still at the heart of the brand's creative inspiration.

Jaquet Droz - Grande Seconde SW Steel-Rubber

Grande Seconde SW Steel-Rubber is a new sleek model from Jaquet Droz‘s sports watch (SW) line. It is a futuristic model using the revolutionary design of the Grande Seconde and cutting-edge materials. The perfect lines of this dial are obtained in a complex process performed on a single solid block of steel, hollowed to lower the surface level.

The elegant balance of the fine-brushed figure eight, the fineness of its spine and the red Super-LumiNova coating on hands and indicators – the red accentuates the depth of the black – all contribute to a refined interplay of volumes, colors and reflections of light. Also hollowed, the plates discreetly stress the dominance of rounded contours. The bracelet is made of steel – a first for Jaquet Droz. Case and the crown and bezel is in supple natural rubber.
