Jaquet Droz the Eclipse Mother-of-Pearl
Small Complications
With The Twelve Cities Aventurine and The Eclipse Mother-of-Pearl, the emblematic complications traditionally presented in 43 mm cases are now presented in 39 mm models and enshrine the magic of travel in the finest raw materials.
With their exceptional beauty and great delicacy, mother-of-pearl and aventurine are skillfully worked by the Jaquet Droz master craftsmen. This year, two new watches with a smaller diameter have been created to combine the brilliance of these materials with the brand’s best-loved traditional watch complications: time zones and the moon phases.
The Eclipse Mother-of-Pearl
The Eclipse Mother-of-Pearl also presents its watch complication in a new format. In order to satisfy the wishes of the brand’s connoisseurs, this flagship model has been adapted and reworked to a 39 mm diameter.
Apart from the date, day, month, and time display a gold moon is subtly revealed at six o’clock by a white mother-of-pearl racquet. Like a spectacle in a night sky studded with eight stars – the watchmaker’s lucky number – the moon unveils or covers its face from full to total eclipse.
The fire of the diamonds set on the white gold case light up the refined architecture of this new version of The Eclipse, whose redesigned elegance is addressed to men and women who love poetic watches.
