Fans of futuristic or understated watches should look elsewhere ! With this new collection reviving the extraordinary art of paillonnage, Jaquet Droz is revisiting a prestigious tradition that enjoyed its heyday during the Renaissance. The absolute star of this line graced with remarkable gold ornamentation, the Grande Seconde Tourbillon is impressive in several respects. First of all, the gaze is naturally drawn to the extreme refinement of the paillonné blue enamel dial. This goldsmithing technique consisting of individually placing dainty gold leaf elements has been used to create a subtle geometrical motif on the enamel, coated with a finishing flux. Enthroned at the heart of this elegant décor, the majestic tourbillon exercises a magnetic attraction, also reflecting a wealth of traditional craftsmanship. A lapis lazuli oscillating weight can be admired through the back of this model issued in an eight-piece limited edition.
