Jaquet Droz celebrates Valentine’s Day with a new limited edition Petite Heure Minute. An ode to sensuality, this timepiece adds a new face of cuprite, a precious stone first discovered in the mid-19th century. This singular mineral is challenging to work with due to its tendency to crumble, but the result brings a unique shimmer to the dial, showcasing the mother-of-pearl hour and minute counter.
The gleam of the 18-carat red gold case echoes the dainty gem-set bezel and accentuates the fiery red colour of passion, love and emotion. The Sonora Sunrise cuprite used in this watch comes from Mexico and the fragments were carefully selected by the artistis at Jaquet Droz. Copper oxides in the stone conjure up visions of a red planet or some fiery star in a solar system of fantasy.
The watch has a diameter of 35 mm and is complemented by a red satin strap with an 18-carat red gold pin buckle. Available as a limited edition of 28 pieces, it is a rare treasure that blazes with femininity.
