The ultimate complication,
mastered and reimagined in various forms

Two distinctive universes, three unique executions
 
The independent Swiss brand is making a name for itself with the queen complication of watchmaking: the minute repeater. Three new unique timepieces have just left the Geneva workshops, equipped with the Tourbillon minute repeater movement developed as a tribute to MHC and its talented watchmaker Pierre Favre.

The ArtyA Chorus Minute Repeater is a direct descendant of the 3-gong minute repeater, regulator, and double-axis tourbillon – the most complex piece ever developed by the Geneva-based manufacture. It inherits its predecessor’s characteristic case, yet is modernized and reduced in size.

The ArtyA Skeleton Minute Repeater is a reinterpretation of the round titanium model created for the celebrated ‘Lion’s Head’ and ‘Death is Calling’ two unique pieces developed specifically to bring out the resonating movement’s exceptional sound. This new iteration offers two one-off versions in a sandblasted case that houses a fully skeletonized caliber to highlight its beating heart.

The ArtyA Chorus Minute Repeater’s case evolved from the iconic ArtyA 3 Gongs Minute Repeater with Regulator. Clad in sapphire crystal on all sides, the case is truly a work of art.

ArtyA’s sapphire savoir-faire and extensive experience in creating complete cases in this material made it possible to craft a superior curved crystal – to a degree that was not achievable on the original. Indeed, modernizing the case has given the piece a timelessness all its own.

 ArtyA Skeleton Minute Repeater
An anthem to advanced watchmaking

Creating a minute repeater requires meticulous craftsmanship. Assembling the hammers, gongs, and levers demands unparalleled precision to ensure a harmonious chime with rich, distinct notes. The sandblasted titanium case is designed to enhance reverberation, with the domed sapphire crystal creating a magnificent resonance chamber.

In pursuit of perfect sound quality, the goal of these final pieces was to couple the auditory experience with a visual ballet. Here, the exceptional technical sophistication of the movement – already highly advanced – has been laid bare in skeletonized form.

The ArtyA Minute Repeater Movement

The complex mechanism of the minute repeater is designed to tell time through sound. Master watchmakers invented this device in an age when their clients didn’t have the convenience of a light switch: when the candles went out, the only way to tell time was through a chime. On the ArtyA minute repeater movement, the bridges were carefully designed and hand-angled with the help of an acoustics engineer to optimize the propagation of sound waves for power and purity

A minute repeater is a masterpiece that is heard,
observed, and experienced.

Jaquet Droz – GRANDE SECONDE Tourbillon Skelet Sapphire OPAL - Unique Piece

 

Jaquet Droz – GRANDE SECONDE Tourbillon Skelet – Skull Sapphire OPAL Dial 42mm - Unique Piece 2024 

 TOURBILLON SKELET SAPPHIRE OPAL
ELEVATING SUGGESTION TO AN ART FORM

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Whether in literature or cinema, eroticism or emotions: what is suggested is always more powerful than what is revealed. Obvious is easy. The art of suggestion is something much more subtle. Herein lies the beauty of the Tourbillon Skelet Sapphire Opal.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Draped in sapphire, beneath a veil of opal, the piece subtly allows some of its usually hidden mechanism to be glimpsed: its skeleton movement suspended in space, powered by a flying tourbillon with a power reserve of eight days. A unique, luminous piece made for an aesthete and collector.

At Jaquet Droz, mineral dials are a highly prized form of master craftsmanship. Chosen for their properties, colours or symbolism, stones are only rarely esteemed for their transparency. However, it is the main attraction of opal.

Its name, from the Sanskrit word upala meaning "precious stone", is justly deserved. Its green and blue reflections are unique.

Opal is one of the very rare stones to change its colour based on exposure to light. This phenomenon has its own name – iridescence – to describe this rare property of spontaneous chromatic variation.

This property makes opal truly the centrepiece of the new Tourbillon Skelet Sapphire. Radiant and luminous, the creation is bathed in light thanks to a case made entirely from sapphire machined in the Swiss city of La Chaux-de-Fonds.

Inside this showcase, light does not only strike the opal dial from above, as in a classic watch construction. Here, light is everywhere. It penetrates the piece from the back, front, and sides. It snakes through the movement.

Wends its way between the bridges and gear train. It skims the tourbillon, caresses the hands, weaves around the gold oscillating weight, escaping again through the middle. Always present, never captured. The opal reveals its movement, echoing its path with shimmering reflections.

It is powered by a Swiss Made precision mechanism.

With its signature Jaquet Droz figure-of-eight design, the movement features a skeleton flying tourbillon at 12 o'clock, counterbalanced by the hours and minutes at 6 o'clock.

The two are perfectly visible thanks to two openings in the opal, which is just 7/10th of a millimetre thick.

For this unique piece, the movement has a power reserve of eight days, and features an anthracite gray coating. This is complemented by the white gold of the hands, crown, and signature Jaquet Droz screws (with star-shaped heads).

The 42-mm case on a white rubber strap is perfect for any wrist, male or female. A unique piece, precise and precious, which combines the traditional tourbillon with a uniquely disruptive and unexpected play of light.

  “Some watches tell time, some tell a story.”
