Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Moon Black Enamel
Preparing for Baselworld 2018 Jaquet Droz is introcucing Grande Seconde Moon Black Enamel, a watch that is part of Grande Seconde collection.
The Grande Seconde Moon Black Enamel is representing the phases of the lunar cycle from the new moon to the last quarter, while having the aesthetic of the Grande Seconde collection and the signature Jaquet Droz.
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 movement Jaquet Droz 2660QL3 is a self-winding mechanical movement with silicon balance spring and pallet horns, double barrel, flat bridges and has a 18-karat red gold oscillating weight.
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. The Grande Seconde Moon Black Enamel is part of a legacy of the most sophisticated watches in existence, and is complemented by an incomparably graceful dial. Technical prowess enhances the elegance of the timepiece with an 18-carat red gold case and black rolled-edge alligator strap. A hand indicates the date, and the astronomical moon phases at 6 o’clock can be set using the corrector at 8 o’clock.
This Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Moon Black Enamel has a diameter of 43 mm and a power reserve of 68 hours.
