The Grande Seconde Moon Black Enamel watch represents the phases of the lunar cycle from the new moon to the last quarter, while staying true to the clean aesthetic of the Grande Seconde collection and the signature Jaquet Droz figure 8. The watch comes in a 18-carat red gold case. The lunar spectacle of the double-level dial in black Grand Feu enamel – with its applied satin-finish ring, 18-carat red gold star appliques, and 22-carat gold moon crowning a black onyx moon disk – houses an extraordinary treasure of watchmaking.
The self-winding mechanical movement Jaquet Droz 2660QL3 harnesses the marvelous properties of silicon, one of the most innovative materials in contemporary watchmaking, and offers a 68-hour power reserve. Silicon is friction-resistant and corrosion-resistant, meaning the moon phase in this Grande Seconde Moon is a “true” Moon. The fruit of a unique mechanism developed by Jaquet Droz, the moon phase requires correction only once every 122 years. A hand indicates the date, and the astronomical moon phases at 6 o’clock can be set using the corrector at 8 o’clock.
The elegance of the timepiece is enhanced with a black rolled-edge alligator strap.
