Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantième Ivory Enamel

This year, Jaquet Droz adds a new chapter to the Grande Seconde story. The movement inside this legendary model takes a leap forward with the incorporation of a silicon balance spring and a pallet lever with inverted horns. Exceptionally supple and equally hard to master, silicon is insensitive to shocks, magnetic fields, and changes in temperature and pressure, with the added benefit of being perfectly stable over time. Visible through the sapphire back, the movement takes on a more contemporary face than in the past thanks to its skilfully executed new decorations. The dial aesthetic has undergone its own fascinating changes with the adoption of double grand feu enamel, a technique developed by Jaquet Droz whose depth accentuates the visual harmony of the interlocking subdials which form a figure “eight”, one of the signatures of the brand.
