Drawing inspiration from the very sources of 18th century Romanticism, Jaquet Droz bring together their watchmaking talent and aesthetic excellence by celebrating Saint Valentine’s Day with a special version of the Grande seconde medium.

Within the dial in the shape of a figure of 8, symbolizing eternal joy, born of the infinite union of two interlocking circles, just like the yin and the yang, a delicate heart beats the rhythm of the seconds, in perfect synchronization with the emotion that inflames lovers. Finished in ivory-colored enamel, one of the techniques that distinguish this exceptional brand, this watch will appeal to every woman, who will yearn to have it on her wrist.

 

Produced in a “numerus clausus” of eight, the Grande seconde medium Saint-Valentin illustrates the perfect harmony of this romantic date by offering an exquisitely feminine version, 39 mm in diameter. Beneath the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal is a superb ivory enamel dial created by the arduous traditional technique of "Grand Feu," in which porcelain glaze is oven-fired in multiple processes, at extremely high temperature.

 

The overlapping circles for the subsidiary seconds display off-centered hours and minutes, a signature of the Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde timepieces-displays fiery red hands in this model. A hand-sewn strap in red alligator leather with a rolled edge and a white gold ardillon buckle completes the distinctive ensemble.

 

The Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Medium Saint-Valentin watch is controlled by a self-winding mechanical movement, which can be viewed through a sapphire exhibition window in the caseback. Designated as the JD 2663 caliber, this movement features a balance wheel that oscillates 28,800 times per hour, and a system of two mainspring barrels that assures a generous 68-hour power reserve. Aesthetic refinements include an engraved 22-karat gold winding rotor, and bridges that display Cotes de Geneve patterns.

 

The Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Medium Saint-Valentin watch is water resistant to 30 meters. Each of the eight watches in the series will display their engraved individual number on the caseback.
