SINCE 1738, A LEGEND IN TIME

Since it was first established in 1738, Jaquet Droz has perpetuated the spirit of innovation and aesthetic refinement of its founder, Pierre Jaquet Droz.

The first watchmaker to set up shop in Geneva, this ingenious inventor and man of uncommon vision conquered the royal courts of Europe and China

with his stunning creations: fabulous humanoid automatons and precious musical watches. Expressing the values of the Age of Enlightenment, this

elegant and well-travelled philosophy still forms the core of our identity. Jaquet Droz timepieces have always combined design, materials with the most

unexpected mechanical refinements. The most elaborate complications are beautifully showcased with the purity of enamel or the lustre of pearls and

precious stones. The Manufacture’s exclusive spirit is intact after nearly three centuries, as attested by its exquisite dials, made to order from precious

minerals and rare woods, its ultra-select collections and its “numerus clausus” limited editions. At Jaquet Droz, we remain true to our time-honoured

goal, namely, to push back the limits of the watchmaker’s art for your greater pleasure.

GRANDE SECONDE

Its elegance is a promise of eternity. Never before in the history of watchmaking has boldness of design

been illustrated with such nobility, while conserving the purity that all the Grande Seconde models have

been reasserting for over two hundred years. On a single dial, the hours and minutes counter, off-

centre at 12 o’clock, embraces the second counter, situated at 6 o’clock, with echoes of avant-garde

poetry, aesthetics at the very core of the identity of Jaquet Droz. From the 18th century to the third

millennium, the Grande Seconde has been the eternal source of inspiration for the Manufacture of

La Chaux-de-Fonds: a timeless icon in extremely exclusive interpretations which evolve with time and

with each new collection. Outlined with pearls or precious stones and clad in “grand feu” enamelling

or rare minerals, the Grande Seconde represents both prodigious history and the present moment and

leaves the promises of the future to the imagination with the majestic elegance of its lines.

CODE n° 1 [ the “figure 8” ] Formed by two subdials on the watch face, this symbol suggests the rarity of limited editions and exclusive models produced in small

numbers. Representing infinity and eternity, the number 8 is one of the Manufacture’s most distinctive and magical numerological references.

CODE n° 2 [ off-centered subdials ] Design enters into subtle dialogue with movement. Jaquet Droz subdials play with Arabic and Roman numerals, treat each passing

moment as unique, and often attract attention to the Manufacture’s favourite number, 8. In other words, they offer a new perception of Time.

THE MOVEMENT

Founded nearly three centuries ago, Jaquet Droz has always incorporated cutting-edge watchmaking

technology into its time-keeping creations. Jaquet Droz mechanical self-winding and manually wound

movements are all engraved with a clover, the secret signature of the founder of the Manufacture. The

bridges and plate are adorned with “Côtes de Genève” ribbing, while the luxurious sunray motif on the

oscilling body is visible through the transparent case back.

CODE n° 3 [ mechanical heart ] The self-winding double-barrel mechanical movement forms the heart of each Jaquet Droz timepiece, making every hour a beat of life.

CODE n° 4 [ secret signature ] Invisible to the naked eye, a three-leaf clover is engraved on each mechanism. Only connoisseurs know where to look. All Jaquet Droz

timepieces are marked with this stamp, symbolic of the painstaking craftsmanship of their Manufacture.

GRAND FEU ENAMELLING

“Grand feu” enamelling is one of the expert techniques that constitute the signature of a Jaquet Droz

watch. Master dial-makers perform this operation entirely by hand, playing with fine powders and subjecting

them to fire. They alone know the formula to produce these dials, whose colour and texture are absolutely

unique. Now Jaquet Droz is taking a great step forward, deploying the technical supremacy of its art to

enable the use of black, the most intriguing of all colours. It has created Absolute Black, fascinating and

mysterious, in a special process whose secret is well-guarded. The same holds true for “paillonné” enamel.

These watches are masterpieces of decorative art, their gold motifs meticulously hand-applied to “flinqué”

enamel and their chromatic magnificence underscored by the signature blue of the Manufacture.

CODE n° 5 [ “grand feu” enamel ] A mysterious kind of alchemy… The secret of “grand feu” enamel – a technique for master craftsmen to obtain a unique grain and

unalterable beauty – depends at once on the skill of the artisan, the fineness of the powders and the strength of the flame.

RING AND BLUED STEEL

Featuring a play on colours, shapes and metals, Jaquet Droz sublimates its dials by enhancing them with

one or several applied gold rings, bevelled, drawn out and entirely screwed down by hand. This distinctive

decoration is further enhanced by the brand signature blue of the Jaquet Droz hands and screws, achieved

by the extremely delicate operation of blueing the steel. The craftsman responsible for this process works

with a hot flame and adapts the heat to the size and thickness of the hand. Thanks to his expertise and his

keen eye, he will succeed in exactly reproducing the Jaquet Droz blue. Any slip of concentration or error

of judgement would ruin it all.

CODE n° 6 [ blued steel ] At the Manufacture, skilled artisans guard their secret like treasure. Transformed by fire and the art of the craftsmen, the steel turns yellow,

brown and violet before taking on the trademark blue of Jaquet Droz watch hands.

CODE n° 7 [ hands ] Lancine hands are imposing and tapered. Serpentine hands have a slight wave to their line. But all Jaquet Droz watch hands, no matter what their

design, are key to a personal interpretation of time.

CODE n° 8 [ ring ] Applied and drawn out with a file, made of gold or steel, the ring secured to the dial with screws enhances its beauty and that of the subdials and

the hands.

NUMERUS CLAUSUS

Throughout the ages, man has contemplated the stars and the most beautiful planet of all – his own – in

an effort to elucidate the mysteries of Time. In honour of this endeavour, begun at the dawn of time, Jaquet

Droz has fashioned inimitable watch dials from noble materials, treasures drawn from the depths of the

Earth and from outer space. These dials offer the poetry of meteorites crossing galaxies, the geometry of

rutilated inclusions in quartz, the mystery of onyx, the dark gleam of ebony and the charm of Amboyna

burl. The craftsmen at Jaquet Droz have used the substance of the universe to create magnificent watches

that mark each passing moment. This requires intricate teamwork between master cutters and dial-makers,

who create fabulous “numerus clausus” editions limited to 8 or one-of-a-kind timepieces made to custom

order. This is truly the world of Haute Horlogerie, an eternal quest for elegance and technical perfection.

CODE n° 9 [ minerals ] Minerals are like the memory of the Earth and our galaxy. Whether they come from deep within the earth or the far reaches of space, they

transform each watch dial into a fabulous journey through the infinity of time.

CODE n° 10 [ “numerus clausus” ] Real luxury is rare. With its one-of-a-kind creations and its “numerus clausus” editions limited to 8 or 88 pieces, Jaquet Droz also

masters the art of exclusivity.

METEORITE Fragments of asteroid, pieces of

comet, lunar rocks, Martian stones. Meteorites

bear all the mystery and stillness of their long ga-

lactic voyage, as well as the most extraordinary

dream of all humanity: to embrace the universe

in its totality and wear the mystery of infinity on

the skin.

ONyX Nocturnal magic, the mystery of

darkness, the absolute glamour of the colour,

which carries all the others within. Onyx is the

stone of blackness, eminently sensual. In keeping

with its legend, the Greeks saw in it the body of

Venus and considered it the symbol of love – a

myth that still endures. For designers today, onyx

is one of the most evocative emblems in jewel-

lery.

RUTILE QUARTz A rock crystal filled with

titanium needles, rutile quartz plays on transpa-

rency and geometry. The stone of truth in Ancient

Greece and an everyday challenge for craftsmen

today, its precious inclusions evoke desire and

passion, hence their evocative name: Venus hairs.

SPECTROLITE Light blue, clear, red, yellow

or orange, spectrolite boasts a fascinating play of

colours. Always changing and almost rebellious,

yet forever loyal to a single standard: brilliance.

From golden yellow to deep blue, from opaque

to translucent, this gemstone is full of surprises

and asserts its rich personality and unique beauty

with confidence.

AVENTURINE Very few glassworks still hold

the formula for aventurine. Bursting with crystals

formed in molten glass under the force of fire,

aventurine transforms the dials of our timepie-

ces with its blue-black tint. Forged by the hands of

men and frequently compared to the philosopher’s

stone, aventurine holds the secrets of the jewel-

ler’s alchemy.

NUUMITE Forged by volcanoes three billion

years ago and, until now, never used in watchma-

king, nuummite was only discovered in 1982. Very

rare – eight thousand grammes are extracted each

year – and extraordinarily iridescent, its deep black

is adorned with colourful sparkles and its fascinating

wealth of crystals vividly comes to life in the light.

For two decades, nuumite has revived the eternal

mythology of stones.

PIETERSITE Unearthed from the arid Namibian

soil, Pietersite features stunning nuances of blue

intermingled with light or dark veins. This gem

bears the fascinating likeness of a river estuary,

where the age-old mingling of waters opens its

horizon onto the infinity of the ocean.

PETRIFIED DINOSAUR BONE The material

of legends and the last trace of a story dating back

millions of years, petrified dinosaur bone possesses

all the magic of the fairy tales that we tell our

children. The extraction of this fascinating and

mysterious material is relatively recent, however,

with the first petrified bones being aroused from

their long slumber in England in 1677. The dream

was, at last, awoken…

LAPIS LAzULI A favourite stone of Renais-

sance painters and an ancient Egyptian symbol

for the night sky, the azure blue of Lapis Lazuli

has always fascinated artists from the greatest

civilisations. Just as its name implies – “stone” in

Latin and “blue” in Arabic – this stone is a mineral

echo of the dialogue between Ancient Rome and

the Oriental influences of the Thousand and One

Nights.

HAWK EyE This stone carries the name of one

of James Fenimore Cooper’s heroes. Luminous

and iridescent, uniform or patterned with streaks

and in bluish or greenish grey, the Hawkeye stone

symbolises wide-open spaces and freedom.

SERPENTINE The unrivalled sparkle emanating

from the numerous nuances of green is what gives

this gem – often compared to a precious reptile

skin – its name. Originating from Kashmir, Africa,

but also Cornwall, Serpentine has never ceased

to seduce artisan jewellers, who have occasionally

dubbed it “the new jade”, albeit erroneously.

PETRIFIED ALGAE The history of our planet

comes to life on the dials of Jaquet Droz time-

pieces. Reflecting the very beginnings of life, this

stone gives a silent account of the warm seas that

bathed planet Earth, whose biological richness

and lunar motion still seem to pulse through the

reddish streaks of petrified algae.

SETTING

Jewellery watches celebrate Time in luxurious style. Since 1738, Jaquet Droz has forged an alliance

between its superlative technology and the beauty of pearls and precious stones. For more than two

hundred and fifty years, its timepieces have set the standard for luxury watches as well as fine jewellery.

That this tradition is alive and well is obvious in the dial ring set with pearls or rubies or the gem-studded

bezel and horns adorning the Grande Seconde, a subtle allusion to the handsome pocket watches worn

by 18th-century men of fashion. The art of the setter reaches its apogee in the spectacular dials of the

Fleur du Temps models… in the gleam of gold, the fire of diamonds, the deep purple-reds of rubies or

spessartines as well as in flawlessly cut sapphires and emeralds, each more rare and splendid than the next.

CODE n° 11 [ setting with precious stones ] A river of light in rainbow colours to intensify what is unique and essential: the pleasure of being and experiencing

the moment.

THE WATCH CASE

At Jaquet Droz, a watch case is like a treasure chest full of mechanical wonders to track time. The

smooth-polished case used for the Grande Seconde Marine recalls the portholes of 19th-century ships.

Handsomely curved and perfectly sized, it was carefully conceived to contain remarkable movements. This

design expresses choices, desires and yearnings in the strength of steel, the majestic gleam of white or red

gold and the unalterable elegance of the ceramic material. The Manufacture believes that each watchcase

is absolutely essential, whether it has a screw-type back or comes in one piece. Each one undergoes no

fewer than 80 different operations. That’s why Jaquet Droz prizes the hands of its master craftsmen above

any manufacturing tool.

CODE n° 12 [ watch case ] Knowing that each watch case is freighted with dreams and aspirations, Jaquet Droz has treated it with special care. Starting with its

sensuous curves and contours of gold, steel or ceramic…

CODE n° 14 [ retrograde indications ] Time does not express itself in one dimension alone. This inspired Jaquet Droz to focus on all of the codes connected with its plurality,

from the retrograde date hand to the indication of moon phases.

CODE n° 13 [ complications ] Stretching the limits of watch making to the frontiers of the impossible is part of the Jaquet Droz philosophy. That’s why the brand strives

to take the art of complications – whether tourbillon, chronograph, retrograde date or equation of time – as far as it will go.

COMPLICATIONS

In a never-ending quest to surpass its own achievements, Jaquet Droz takes the inventiveness of its

luxury watches – and the pride of their possessors – to new heights. This precious sunburst harbours

sophisticated complications: tourbillon, minute repeater, equation of time, perpetual calendar, jumping

hour or retrograde moon phase.

LES COLLECTIONS

HOMMAGE GENEVE 1784

Representing a bridge between the Age of Enlightenment and the third millennium, the “Hommage Genève 1784” Collection by Jaquet Droz evokes the union of

Haute Horlogerie and poetry, contemporary aesthetics and timeless appeal. Directly inspired by an 18th-century pocket-watch, the “Hommage Genève 1784”

Collection is a reference to the luxurious and refined models created by Pierre Jaquet Droz in his third watchmaking workshop, opened in Geneva in

1784. In choosing this location, Pierre Jaquet Droz displayed a pioneering spirit, since his manufactory was the first ever organised in this city.

GRANDE SECONDE EMAIL

Through the majestically intertwining and subtly off-centered time indications, the fascinating alternation

GRANDE SECONDE CERCLEE

Two stylish subdials – one indicating seconds, the other hours and minutes – come together to form

a figure 8, the symbol of success and infinity. With a ring secured by blued steel screws, this sleek dial

features the decorative components of the Jaquet Droz signature. The entire cosmos is summoned to

celebrate beauty and uniqueness, for these dials are crafted from rare minerals, quartz, onyx, meteorites or

woven carbon fibres. The ornamentation on the Grande Seconde Cerclée dial, like a canvas for wonderfully

mad designs, can be engraved by hand. An unusual way to express dreams and desires, transcend aesthetic

conventions and explore unknown horizons.

GRANDE SECONDE CERAMIQUE

Behind striking simplicity lies the conviction of absolute purity: with the Grande Seconde Céramique,

Jaquet Droz fuses its historical expertise with avant-garde technology. Remaining perfectly faithful to the

design established more than two centuries earlier at La Chaux-de-Fonds, this timepiece is adorned with

the unique texture of scratch-proof ceramics. Whether absolute black, pure white or anthracite in colour,

this material – unalterable once subjected to extreme temperatures – stipulates total excellence and

exigency as a unique way of contemplating Time in three hues.

RESERVE DE MARCHE

The art of Time also encompasses the moments that are yet to come. For this reason, the Réserve de

Marche is equipped with an essential complication: the 68 hour power-reserve indicator. Charged with

promise, this incarnation of the immediate future is produced in a “numerus clausus” of 88 models with

two distinct watch faces: a legendary and elegantly refined dial in ivory-coloured “grand feu” enamelling

and a sporty, decidedly contemporary opaline dial with just a hint of red.

GRANDE SECONDE SW

Sporty, impulsive, yet classically distinguished, the Grande Seconde SW personifies the very values of

Jaquet Droz. With a fluted bezel, hollowed horns and a strap in vulcanised rubber, the audacity of the

sporty design combines modernity with the robustness of an all-steel case that is water-resistant to 88

metres. The Manufacture visualised all possible forms of excess to create this exceptional model, from the

patented folding clasp to the extraordinary lightness of the case. For on the racetrack of Time, the most

glorious trophies are won by a mere split second.

REGULATEUR

A rare timepiece, the Régulateur by Jaquet Droz combines singular geometry with mechanical brilliance,

classical Roman numerals with curvilinear Arabic ones and the magic of the number eight with precision

time measurement. The subtle off-centered effect against the background of the “grand feu” enamelled

or opaline slate-grey dial makes Régulateur one of the masterpieces of the “Hommage Genève 1784”

Collection, celebrating the bold inventiveness and unique philosophy of the first Manufacture to set up

shop in Geneva.

REGULATEUR

GRANDE HEURE

No two identical beings exist: for Jaquet Droz, the essence of each individual is a source of wonder,

imagination and creation. The slender watch hand of the Grande Heure is the ultimate expression of such

uniqueness. This timepiece is also the fruit of a seemingly unbelievable vision: to live time differently and

to appreciate it in a new light, guided only by the elegantly tapered and blued-steel unique indicator. This

piece offers a new way of finding one’s bearings in the perception of a unique moment…and of taking full

advantage of it.

GRANDE HEURE

PETITE HEURE MINUTE

Like a painter’s canvas or a poet’s blank page, the dial of the Petite Heure Minute, a model that represents

a historic milestone for the Manufacture, is a wonderful place for a creative spirit to wander. By locating

the hour-minute indicator off-centre at 12 o’clock, Jaquet Droz merges functionality with the promise of

infinite possibilities. Those of “grand feu” enamelling, whose singular grain and unique colour - both are

workshop secrets - provide a magical surface for the application of numerals. Those of silvered subdials

where onyx contributes enigmatic elegance, spectrolite offers shifting colours and delicate rings outline

the interplay of volumes and materials. Expressing diversity through design choices, Petite Heure Minute

showcases a permanent brand value: creativity.

HOMMAGE LONDRES 1774

When Pierre Jaquet Droz opened his second complete watchmaking workshop in London, he provided a striking demonstration of his strategic audacity

and his far-reaching vision. In the Age of Enlightenment, London was the commercial decision-making heart of Europe, the key business centre and the point

of departure to remote destinations. It was from London that the Jaquet Droz models, made in this city, were to set off for Russia, Japan, China and Turkey.

Jaquet Droz therefore dedicates its “Hommage Londres 1774” Collection to distinctive, urban and cosmopolitan watches with an elegant, edgy charm.

GRANDE HEURE MINUTE

Jaquet Droz is introducing an original and distinctive watch with a steel case. Better still, the Manufacture

of Haute Horlogerie is taking the liberty of issuing it in a “numerus clausus” limited to just 88. The other

fundamental features of Jaquet Droz models are all present: Lancine-type hands in blued steel, smooth-

polished rounded case with a diameter of 43 mm or 41 mm, engraved case, and domed crystal. The secret

brand signature (a clover leaf) is also engraved on the movement, and the oscillating weight features the

famous sunray motif, whereas the bridges and plates are adorned with the “Côtes de Genève” pattern.

L’ORIGINE

In its timepiece L’Origine, Jaquet Droz transcends the common perception of history with vision,

transforming heritage and tradition into a consummate expression of modernity. With its contemporary

lines and crafted volumes set off by clever light effects, L’Origine epitomizes the Manufacture’s talent

for taking the best from each time period. It is a shared privilege, for this is the first steel Jaquet Droz

timepiece available in a non-limited edition with centered hours, minutes and seconds hands. Even so, the

watch retains its unmistakeable spirit of exclusivity.

HOMMAGE LA CHAUX-DE-FONDS 1738

As the creator of watches, clocks and automatons that were universally recognised for their elegance and finesse, Pierre Jaquet Droz succeeded in

making people forget about the phenomenal complexity of the mechanisms and movements required to actually run his masterpieces. It was in his

first workshop that Pierre Jaquet Droz began to specialise in the production and export of timekeepers endowed with “Grandes Complications” such

as a piece of music, a songbird, or a mechanism striking “en passant” or automatically… The workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds excelled in all fields of

mechanical ingenuity. The “Hommage La Chaux-de-Fonds 1738” Collection is dedicated to “Grandes Complications” specialities.

LES DEUX FUSEAUX

The complication known as Les Deux Fuseaux displays the reference time on the off-centered hour and

minute counter at 12 o’clock, along with the 24-hour counter. Then comes the subtle appearance of the

“other” time, time to see a loved one again, the local time (or GMT time) with its central hour and minute

indication. In harmony with the Jaquet Droz spirit, the seconds are clearly displayed at 6 o’clock and,

to complete the picture, a window at 3 o’clock indicates the date of local time (GMT date).

LES LONGITUDES

With its off-centered dials, bold lines and perfectly engineered mechanisms, Les Longitudes pays homage to

Manufacture Jaquet Droz, founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1738. Expressing the creativity and technical

virtuosity of the master watchmaker, this majestic timepiece is a poem to time and space. An ode to here

and elsewhere, recited in Roman numerals on the first longitude indicator at 3 o’clock and in Arabic numerals

on the dial opposite. The spectacular minutes hand incessantly sweeps its centred dial, maintaining a playful

tension with the serpentine date hand, very different in size and shape. Set off by a large, handsome

18-carat white gold case, Les Longitudes is poetry in motion.

LES DOUzE VILLES

London, Genève, Istanbul, Moscow, Dubaï, Aspen, Mexico, New york, Shanghai, Tokyo, Sydney, Azores...

Each city has its pulse, its tension, its special times. Les Douze Villes houses a mechanical self-winding, double

barrel movement with 68-hour power-reserve, jumping hours and time-zone indication on a disc. Thus,

simply by pressing a pushbutton at 2 o’clock, the cities and their respective times appear in the apertures

on the subdial.

LES LUNES

A complete calendar model, Les Lunes is equipped with a world première in the shape of a retrograde

moon-phase mechanism. It enables a display of the lunar cycle, interpreted as never before by a return

to the point of departure once a lunar cycle is completed (every 29.5 days). The blued steel Lancine type

hands indicate the hours, the minutes and the current period of lunation. The blued steel crescent-shaped

hand shows the date around the rim of the dial, while the day and month appear in a large aperture.

LES LUNES

CHRONO GRANDE DATE

To grasp the power of each second and to measure oneself by the time that passes: these are the dual

aspirations that inspired the craftsmen of the Manufacture at La Chaux-de-Fonds to design this sporty

chronograph – the Chrono Grande Date – in no less than four versions, playing on the virility of steel, the

subtlety of red gold, the elegance of opaline black or the unique texture of “grand feu” enamelling. yet

beneath the distinguished design of these exteriors, the movement pulses with each instant, combining

form and content in an unprecedented example of watchmaking poetry.

CHRONO MONOPOUSSOIR

Powerful and masculine, the Chrono Monopoussoir is the world’s first single pushbutton chronograph to

feature an hour counter and hour-minute indication that are both off-centered. Supported by an extremely

powerful dial design on which only the chronograph seconds hand runs from the centre, the column-wheel

Chrono Monopoussoir features chronograph functions that are all controlled by a single pushbutton set

into the crown.

QUANTIEME PERPETUEL

The Quantième Perpétuel by Jaquet Droz is a full-fledged horological masterpiece. The interplay of the

blued steel hands is particularly representative of this keen sense of melding Haute Horlogerie with

poetry. The serpentine hands are reserved for the Calendar functions – months, days and date – with a

double-retrograde indication of the day and date; while the Lancine-type hands are dedicated to the Time

functions – central hour and minute indication and large seconds subdial at 6 o’clock.

LES GRANDES COMPLICATIONS

“Grandes Complications” are the signature of watchmaking masterpieces. What could be more natural

than to find them in luxury watches by Jaquet Droz, whose beauty is only rivalled by their technical

virtuosity. Starting with the elegant design of its Tourbillon, available in a “numerus clausus” edition of 28.

Jaquet Droz offers an additional outstanding complication – a minute repeater with a two-tone striking

mechanism on request – in a limited edition of 8. Orchestrated with delicacy, musical chimes sound every

quarter-hour in succession. It takes the genius of master craftsmen to make this major complication work:

at regular intervals, tiny hammers strike bells inside the watchcase. As for the Equation of Time, a blued-

steel hand tipped with a sun motif indicates the difference between true solar time and mean solar time.

In this fabulous creation, human craftsmanship enters into a dialogue with galactic forces.

TOURBILLON RESERVE DE MARCHE

HOMMAGE PARIS 1785

A cultural and intellectual bastion central to 18th-century history, Paris has always held pride of place for our Manufacture. During the Enlightenment, its

founder Jaquet Droz frequently visited Paris, where he presented his models to Marie-Antoinette, queen of France. Designated the capital of femininity,

art and fashion, the city has been famous ever since for its jewellery watches, set with precious stones or pearls. Mysterious and enchanting, the “Hom-

mage Paris 1785” Collection represents yet another milestone in our unrelenting quest to push back the limits of Beauty.

L’HEURE ASTRALE

This timepiece is a dream in black or white and is even set with diamonds and other gems. Dazzling and

feminine, L’Heure Astrale immediately projects both the radiance of its design and the purity of its shapes

in a subtle asymmetry that is characteristic of Jaquet Droz. Showcasing an exquisite round case in 18-carat

white gold, brilliantly sparkling precious stones and delicately shimmering lacquer, L’Heure Astrale is

produced in a “numerus clausus” of 8 or 88 models only. This ode to femininity is a privilege reserved

for the most fortunate.

L’HEURE ASTRALE

DATE ASTRALE

Inside its 39 mm steel watchcase, the Date Astrale makes a statement in mechanical perfection infused with

celestial magic. It boasts a complication marked by a diamond and a dial dedicated to solar splendour. With

its pointer-type retrograde date display, this timepiece is beautiful to behold, with its off-centered hours

and minutes subdial at two o’clock and its elegantly curved date window. Each month, without fail, this

timepiece faithfully renews Time’s bright promise.
