THE BIRD REPEATER by Jaquet-Droz

Español Pусский 中文
October 2013


The Bird Repeater combines a minute repeater and an automaton of birds feeding three chicks, of which one comes out of an egg, while the water of the stream flows in a continuous cascade. The base dial is hand-engraved and painted mother-of-pearl. The waterfall is on a rotating disc that spins to create the illusion of falling water. The birds and nest are also hand-engraved and painted individually. The animation sequence has an impressive level of action with wings opening, eggs hatching and chicks being fed.
