JAQUET DROZ
A New Icon for a Beloved Collection
Elegance and Poetic Charm Define the Latest Creation
The "Grande Seconde Ceramic Clous de Paris" from Swiss haute horlogerie brand JAQUET DROZ has arrived in Japan. This new release enriches the brand's iconic "Grande Seconde Collection" with three distinct variations: a white ceramic model and a black ceramic model, both featuring the Clous de Paris engraving, alongside a power-reserve black ceramic model. Each is produced in a strictly limited edition of 28 pieces worldwide.

Rare Limited Editions of 28, Featuring the Iconic "8"
Unveiled by JAQUET DROZ at Baselworld in 2017, the "Grande Seconde Ceramic Clous de Paris" masterfully blends a bold character with elegant lines. The case and dial are crafted from ceramic, ensuring exceptional scratch resistance and enduring brilliance.
The dial presents an avant-garde personality through the interplay of the Clous de Paris engraving—resembling a pattern of finely stacked pyramid studs—and a design inspired by JAQUET DROZ's signature numeral '8'. The Roman and Arabic numerals adorning the dial further enhance this novel fusion of contemporary and classic aesthetics.
Complementing the Clous de Paris motif, the fabric straps and monochrome color palette exude a refined subtlety, imbuing the three models with a poetic sensibility. The hands, in stark contrast against the white or black dials, radiate a captivating luminescence.
Each model is equipped with a 68-hour power reserve, ideal for daily wear. On the Power Reserve Black Ceramic model, the remaining power can be easily monitored via the indicator hand, finished in black gold, positioned at 9 o'clock.
A transparent case back on each model reveals the engraved serial number, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and originality that lend these timepieces their inherent elegance.
