The ladies have a new reason to rejoice, Jaquet Droz has released another addition to its luxury Hommage Paris 1785 collection. The watch gives of an essence of elegance, exuberance, ultra feminism and sleekness; it’s also a breathtaking example of diamond setting centerpiece. It features the signature design of the manufacturer Jaquet Droz; an off centre dial display, set between raised and paved set globular figures giving of a feeling of planet and stars in a moonless night sky. The unique three dimensional quality of the dial has been brought out beautifully by an elegantly curved sapphire crystal, which is placed in direct contact with the case band.

         It has a 41mm case which is brought up from red gold. The watch is brought to life by a Jaquet Droz Calibre 2653 self winding mechanism, whose beautiful decorations and a 22 carat oscillating weight can be clearly seen through the sapphire crystal back. This watch rewrites the basic rules of watch making; the presence of a sapphire crystal makes it free from all the graphic constraints posed by a bezel. This crystal helps in the illumination of the magnificent dial from unusual angles, and also brings out the interplay of bodies as was imagined by the designers at Jaquet Droz.

        To achieve this impossible and amazing technical feat, the watchmakers drew inspiration from their rich heritage of aesthetic and designer codes and made use of their signatures, such as the presence of the star motif which establishes a narrative, and then also brings into play modern lines, heavy curves and unusual volumes to bring out the infinite possibilities that are posed by the heavenly night sky. The balance frequency of the watch is 21,600 v.p.h (vibrations per hour), which is made possible by a double spring barrel rotor, it also has a power reserve of 68 hours.

        This watch is released in a limited 8 watch per variation “Numerus Clausus” edition. Its straps are alligator leather, with hand rolled edges and 22 carat gold ardillon buckles which secure the watch to your wrists. It has a water resistance of 30m. This watch makes one of the most passionate desires of humankind possible i.e. to have the mystery of the universe on our wrists. Although it’s a little out of the reach of the common public, it sure is a watch of the dreams of the ladies all over the world. The watch plays a very important part in accentuating the feminist characters of an elegant female.
