Black ceramic case. Self-winding skeleton mechanical movement. Power reserve of 68 hours. Diameter 41 .5 mm. The Grande Seconde incarnates the essence of the Jaquet Droz watchmaking art. While the brand has oft varied its design, for the first time it proposes a sapphire dial integrated within a skeleton composition. The Grande Seconde Skelet-One marks a true stylistic turning point in the brand’s history, as part of its prestigious 280th anniversary celebrations. The objective of this creation was to let light shine to the deepest reaches of the Grande Seconde, all while preserving the figure “8” shape that is its aesthetic signature. To do so, Jaquet Droz maintained the uncluttered character of the dial that is distinguished by the legendary hours and minutes counter with Roman numerals at 12 o’clock, intertwined with the large seconds counter with Arabic numerals at 6 o’clock. The composition stays true in all aspects to the original inspiration of the Grande Seconde, playing with decorated surfaces as much as empty spaces. As in music, where rests count just as much (if not more) than notes, the Grande Seconde finds balance as it alternates between full and empty. Similarly this new interpretation in total transparency – a first for Jaquet Droz – accords ample breathing space to the time indications. Hours, minutes and seconds stand out in a new transparent aesthetic bathed in light. Jaquet Droz has left only the bridges showing, which structure the piece’s movement. * Reference: Jaquet Droz Grande Second Skelet-One Ceramic J003525540 * Country of Manufacture: Switzerland * Bracelet Strap: Alligator Leather Strap * Case: Black ceramic case * Case Back: Exhibition Case Back * Case Thickness: 12.48mm * Case Width: 41mm * Clasp Type: Stainless steel and ceramic folding clasp with black PVD treatment * Crystal: Anti-reflective Sapphire Crystal * Dial Color: Sapphire dial Black ceramic hour circle Indexes and dial fixing screws in red gold * Functions: Hours, Minutes, Seconds * Gender: Men's * Hands: Gold * Dial Markers: Indexes * Brand: Jaquet Droz * Warranty: Full Factory Warranty * Movement: Jaquet Droz 2663 SQ, self-winding skeleton mechanical movement, black treatment, silicon balance spring and pallet horns, double barrel, 18-karat red gold oscillating weight Individual number engraved on the oscillating weight * Water Resistance: 30m
