The "Jaseur Boréal" is a unique piece belonging to the collection "Oeuvres Manufactura 1528 - Les Oiseaux".



The 39mm case of The Jaseur Boréal is made from solid 18ct 5N red gold. It houses the in-house mechanical movement also made from solid 18ct 5N red gold (manufacturing process protected by several patents), hand-wound, hand-engraved and hand-decorated. It includes 34 jewels and offers a power-reserve of more than 55 hours.


The solid 18ct 5N red gold dial comprises 13 parts. Traditional « grand feu » black and white enamelled domed cartouches house the Roman numerals. The centre of the dial is made from enamelled solid 18ct gold featuring a “grand feu” enamel miniature of the "jaseur boréal" bird, using Petitot’s “point by point” technique (1630). In a discreet window at 12 o'clock, an enamelled gold oil drop symbol will appear after four years in operation, when the watch must be serviced.

A hand-stitched light pink salmon strap lined with calf completes the watch. It is equiped with a solid 18ct 5N red gold buckle with engraved pictogram.


95 % of the watch is made from one kilogram of solid 18ct 5N red gold: movement, dial, case, crown and buckle.
