The new Grande Seconde Tourbillon Aventurine features a dial and oscillating weight cut from a disc of aventurine.

Reinterpretation and respect: two watchwords governed the creation of this latest version of the Grande Seconde Tourbillon, in which the entire range of skills and knowledge held by Jaquet Droz has found its fullest expression. For the first time Jaquet Droz has paired the tourbillon with a mineral dial and has placed this particular complication in a 39 mm case.

The Grande Seconde Tourbillon Aventurine is a jewelry watch; its bezel, lugs and the contours of the famous figure 8 motifs are set with 382 brilliant cut diamonds.  The aventurine, with its scattering of tiny gleaming shards, is made yet more splendid by the fire in the precious stones, conjuring up a veritable night sky in miniature. A delicate touch of mother-of-pearl is introduced as the ultimate refinement and plays with the effects of light and the reflections of the exquisite gems.  The hours and minutes dial, in white mother-of-pearl, plays with the effects of light, while the tourbillon, protected in its sapphire crystal frame, reveals the complex architecture of watchmaking with hypnotic appeal.

The watch is animated by the self-winding tourbillon movement Jaquet Droz 25JD, offering a power reserve of 7 days.

On its back, a custom-made piece of aventurine is set into the gold oscillating weight and affixed with the two gold stars that form the signature of Jaquet Droz.
