The iconic design of its 8-shaped dial is sculpted in sapphire, decorated in different ways from one version to the next, with the gold hands echoing the shade of the hand-crafted rolled-edge strap. The gray ceramic hours and minutes circle strikes a subtle contrast with the plasma ceramic case, featuring metallic reflections created by a firing in a high-temperature furnace. This model offers fascinating glimpses of the movement, delicately assembled by watchmaking artisans and equipped with a silicon balance-spring and pallet horns. For Jaquet Droz, which enjoys the privilege of revisiting three centuries of watchmaking heritage, this collection has become its avant-garde ambassador. In which cheerful and modern color would you like your limited edition?
